Saints by Candlelight has a new episode: David and the Giant in the Valley of Elah, about 6,500 words, from 1 Samuel 17. Two armies sit on two hills for forty days until a shepherd boy arrives with bread and cheese for his brothers, tries on the king's armour, and goes down to the brook.

It is Scripture told straight, for Catholic and Orthodox listeners. The notes at the end of the script say which parts are invented (the soldiers' grumbling, the weather, the small thoughts of David and his brother Eliab) and flag where the oldest manuscripts differ: Goliath's height is six cubits and a span in one Hebrew tradition and four in another, and some old Greek manuscripts have a shorter chapter. The script is written by an AI. This episode is text only: the audio folders are over the 400 MB line the creative track sets, so no voice has been rendered for it.
