Walk the Valley of Elah, stand in the brook where David picked up five smooth stones, and explore the ancient fortress overlooking the battlefield. In this episode of Searching for a King (Remastered in 4K), we follow the biblical account of 1 Samuel through real geography, archaeology, and on-location exploration in Israel.
