House of David is Amazon’s biblical epic series that seeks to adapt Scripture for the television medium. The life of King David has all sorts of intrigue worthy of television, but expecting this concept is harder than it looks, just as staying with the Bible is apparently a difficult endeavor for these producers. House of David is both bad and nonsensical.
The series begins with a massive disclaimer that concedes inaccuracy. From there, a flash-forward introduces Goliath as he’s menacing Saul’s camp. David rushed up to Goliath and is wounded with a javelin. I let this slide while watching, hoping that it was a dream sequence, but it was not. This was a rather critical blunder, as Goliath is a giant or monster in storytelling terms. Goliath’s presence was something to build to, not display in a flash-forward opening scene. Flash-forwards are already overused.
When we’re introduced to David, we see him as an outcast among his brothers and a mama’s boy. To make matters worse, David does not appear to have the same mother as his brothers and is implied to be illegitimate. This was such a bizarre creative license to have taken and irreverent when considering Christ’s lineage. David’s B-plot focuses on killing a lion that’s been terrorizing the area.
King Saul is where all the action of the episode takes place. Saul’s choice to keep the loot of the Amalakites is made from the notion that they suffered 5000 dead from battle. This seems absurdly high for the winning side. This was called “The Battle of the Amalakites” which is not how battles are named. Anyway, Saul’s sympathies for the dead become his pretense for greed and keeping King Agag prisoner.
From there, we’re introduced to Saul’s wife, who is a baddie. In Saul’s tent, they host power slap competitions akin to Dana White’s fleging sport’s league. We see Samuel admonish King Saul to conclude the main plot.
House of David is bad, but it’s more entertaining than The Chosen.

By that cover I can tell this new Star Wars will be good. They’re back to a male Jedi Knight.
David does have a different mother than his brothers in the Bible. He is from a wife of Jesse that used to be the wife of a neighboring Gentile king. Only David and his siters are by that wife. One of the sisters is also once listed as the daughter of the Gentile. This means there is potential David was illegitimate in the sense of Jesse sleeping with this wife when she was still married to the Gentile. And that is probably what Psalm 51 is referring to by “in sin my mother ceonceived me.” And could be why Jesse didn’t bring David when displaying his sons to Samuel when he was choosing which to make king. I’ve not watched this show, but that part actually is somewhat accurate.
The entire purpose of shows such as “The Chosen” and “House of David” is to de-Whitify Christianity, and manipulate and gaslight Christians into embracing judeophilia and multi-racialism.
That’s why the main characters in these shows are portrayed as swarthy, ugly-looking jews.
Real Christians should AVOID “The Chosen”, “House of David”, and anything produced by the subversive evil anti-White company “Angel Studios”.
Yep, its a “Jesus was brown” psyop. David was redheaded in the Bible, so he was White. And Jesus is his descendant, so he he’s White.
