King Saul picks Mirab as David’s wife. However, she watches her sister, Mychal, and her fiancé continue to fall in love since they met. The two sisters are aware of their competition and are thus not on speaking terms. Mirab attempts to win over her future husband by giving Jesse 100 sheep and promising to restore his family, but David refuses to be bought.

Mirab then asks if she can earn it, but he reluctantly admits that someone else already has (Mychal). She then asks him not to embarrass her in front of the nation. After David’s unsuccessful attempt to lead his men, Mirab consoles him. A jealous Mychal watches this and, realizing that the two are growing closer, makes a decision about their relationship.

Mychal tells David that, despite her genuine feelings for him, she must set him free to fulfill his duties and marry Mirab, as they must consider more than just their own happiness. Mychal then tells her sister of her decision and agrees to stop fighting, allowing her to have David.

That doesn’t deter Mirab, and she argues her case to David. She reveals that the two have a lot more in common as the overlooked ones who are trying to forge their own path.

She reveals that while she is genuinely in love with him, she needs to do what’s best for the kingdom, and that they need to consider more than just their happiness in House of David season 2 episode 4.

Adriel hides who Samuel picked as the anointed king and instead leads Saul astray

A major plot point in House of David season 2 episode 4 involves Adriel's deception regarding Samuel's choice for the anointed king. Adriel, the elder of the Tribe of Judah, visited King Saul at the end of the previous episode, and the opening minutes of episode 4 show the final moments of their meeting.

He has apparently revealed the identity of the young man anointed by Prophet Samuel as the true King of Israel to King Saul. As a result, Saul sends Joab and Eliab to his new rival’s house to eliminate him and his family, something that doesn’t go down well with Eliab.

He is forced to kill the man’s family, including a crying baby, which he eventually does with some reluctance in House of David season 2 episode 4. However, as the episode rolls on, Adriel finds David and tells him that he lied to Saul about who Samuel actually chose as his anointed king.

That happens to be David, but instead, Adriel points Saul towards one of his own enemies while concealing David’s identity. Adriel then tells him that he needs to remember who protected him in his time of need.
