Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for the Season 1 finale of House of David.With the Season 1 finale, “David and Goliath – Part 2,” House of David finally makes good on the promise that the show made at the very beginning: the battle between David (Michael Iskander) and Goliath (Martyn Ford). The series opens with a glimpse at this epic warfare, with David being knocked down by a spear and falling to the ground in front of the giant. Now that we’ve had the chance to see the whole sequence play out, one might wonder how close the Prime Video series actually got to the original Bible story. While the battle itself is a bit dramatized (we’ll get into it), there is one thing that the series got absolutely right: David chopping off Goliath’s head.
