The Book of Jashar, by Benjamin Rosenbaum (Season 2, Episode 1)

The text of this story can be found at the Strange Horizons website where it was originally published, here, or in the author's short story collection, The Ant King and Other Stories, which was released under a Creative Commons Attribution, Non-Commercial, Share Alike license.

I highly recommend reading 1 Samuel 15-31 in the Bible if you have the time; it's very useful background for understanding the story. If you'd like a translation recommendation, I highly suggest The David Story, by Robert Alter. Give Us a King by Everett Fox is also great.

I mentioned a story called The Gospel According to Gamaliel Crucis by Michael Bishop, about Jesus returning to Earth as an alien mantis; you can find it in the author's collection of scifi-meets-religion short stories, Close Encounters with the Diety
