"The Life of David"
by Robert Pinsky.

Small, well written and thoughful book. Not sure if it's fiction really though since a lot of the Bible is quoted.

However, I'm not sure if I remembered this from Sunday School or preaching, but Goliath and David were cosins, they're great-great-grandmothers, Ruth (David's) and Orpha (Goliath) were sisters. Ruth, as you know followed Naomi back to Isreal and married Boaz and Orpha married a big strapping dude.
