# 202 - The Return of King David - In this episode of The Chosen People with Yael Eckstein, David wins the battle but loses the son he begged to spare, and the cry of his heartbreak echoes louder than any trumpet of triumph. As the crown is restored, we witness a king who grieves, rises, and returns—not with vengeance, but with mercy.

Episode 202 of The Chosen People with Yael Eckstein is inspired by the Book of Joshua.
