“There are only a few psalms in which he says:” Thank God, my life is good. “Most of them say: 'I am depressed. I and my family failed.' It is really the spectrum of human feelings on this incredibly honest, authentic way,” said Erwin.

Michael Iskander plays David in the series. He was exactly what Erwin and Gunn were looking for, but the search for the perfect David was not easy.

“We were determined to find a David who was a teenager, not yet a man, someone who had the potential to become a leader and warrior, but had the spirit of a child who was frustrated that his father was at home and wanted to live a life,” said Gunn.
