House of David Season 2 arrived on Wonder Project in October 2025 to continue its biblical story of David’s life. Picking up from Season 1’s emotionally charged ending, the second chapter explores David’s rapid rise to power and influence after slaying the giant. He becomes the King’s champion and part of Saul’s household, but this only creates royal tensions that spiral into a life-threatening fallout for David right after his marriage to the King’s daughter, Mychal (Indy Lewis).
The Season concludes with David on the run, but with more men willing to help him take the throne. Fans will probably see David become king if the historical drama returns for a third season. While Jon Erwin is eager to keep telling the story, Amazon Prime has yet to give the green light for Season 3. Be that as it may, if Season 2’s viewership is anywhere near Season 1’s, then a third entry is bound to happen. Until then, here are answers to some biblical questions the second season raises.
1. Did Saul Try To Kill Jonathan For Defending David?

In House of David Season 2’s finale, King Saul (Ali Suliman) learns the truth about David’s (Michael Iskander) divine mandate. Upon confirming that Samuel anointed him, a fight breaks out between the King and the giant slayer, compelling David to forsake his new bride and run for dear life. David meets Jonathan (Ethan Kai) while on the run, and he agrees to help uncover his father’s intent. When the prince confronts his father about the attack on David, Saul throws a spear at him in a fit of rage. This incident is an accurate depiction of biblical facts. In 1st Samuel Chapter 20, Verse 32 and 33, Saul hurls a spear at Jonathan to kill him after he questions his father’s resolve to kill David.
2. Did Eliab Struggle With David’s Divine Mandate?

For most of the season, David’s eldest brother Eliab (Davood Ghadami) grapples with God’s choice of David. He’s caught up between protecting his family and finding his own purpose, but eventually aligns himself with God’s will. House of David’s portrayal of Eliab is much more than what the Bible tells about him. But his story in the series is a nuanced interpretation based on the little information available about him in the Bible.
1st Samuel recounts how God rejected him when Samuel assumed he was the next King based on his appearance. When the shepherd offered to fight Goliath later in the same book, Eliab spoke scornfully to him, accusing David of being proud and wicked. These biblical facts informed the show’s depiction of Eliab’s struggle to embrace David’s divine mandate.
2. Did Saul Banish His Wife?
As King Saul’s wife, Ayelet Zurer’s Queen Ahinoam brings lots of drama to the series. From banishing her son, Prince Eshbaal (Sam Otto), to using witchcraft in a desperate bid to cure King Saul, Queen Ahinoam goes all out to protect her family’s reign. To curb David’s growing influence, she convinces her husband to send him on a mission that guarantees his death. David returns unscathed, and a quarrel ensues between the King and his Queen. King Saul eventually banishes Ahinoam for blaspheming against God and disgracing his kingdom. This storyline, and indeed most of Ahinoam’s depiction, weren’t culled from the Bible. The Christian holy book didn’t say much about the Queen.
Did Saul’s Daughters Fight Over David?
@primevideo A little curveball to keep things interesting. #HouseOfDavid #AliSuliman #MichaelIskander #IndyLewis #YaliTopolMargalith #PaoloLukaNoé #PrimeVideo #HouseOfDavidPV
House of David’s depiction of Saul’s daughter fighting over David is a fictional addition to the story. In the Bible, David had a shot with both Merab (Yali Topol Margalith) and her younger sister Mychal, but it didn’t amount to a dispute between them. The book of 1st Samuel recounts that Saul first offered Merab to David, but turned around and married her off to another man. Later, he learns that Mychal loves David and decides to use her as a snare for the giant slayer. For a bride price, King Saul demands a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, hoping to get him killed. David delivered two hundred foreskins, compelling Saul to give him Mychal for marriage.
Did David Lose One Of His Brothers In The Battle Against Goliath?
@primevideo Where there is David, there will also be Goliath. #HouseOfDavid #MichaelIskander #AzizDyab #AuryAlby #PrimeVideo #HouseOfDavidPV
In House of David Season 2, the young shepherd from Bethlehem lost one of his older brothers right after slaying Goliath. Aziz Dyab’s Nathaneel lost his life in the battle that ensued after the giant fell. This is one of many parts of the series’ plot derived from creative imagination. The Bible named Nathaneel as one of David’s seven older brothers. Nevertheless, the holy book didn’t dwell on Nathaneel’s life, and there are no historical records that correspond to what the show depicts about him.
