0:00.0	Welcome to 10-minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life.
0:08.9	In the time it takes to get to work.
0:10.8	I'm Jeff Parrott.
0:12.3	For as long as people have had positions of leadership, there's a moment of transition that catches everyone's attention.
0:23.5	That moment for any leader is known as day one. It's the first day of true authority in the position of leadership. It's the day when
0:32.3	talk is replaced with action, when promises are fulfilled, broken, or kick down the road. Whether it's a new boss
0:41.3	at work, a new teacher in the classroom, or a new politician in government, day one isn't just

1:47.0	back in 1 Samuel 16, here we get to see the first actions that David takes while functioning
1:53.4	in the position of king. And while we won't get to see his reign over all of Israel until 2 Samuel 5
2:00.2	next week, this passage today in Chapter 2
2:03.6	2 shows us the earliest moments, the first moments of David on the throne over the tribe of Judah.
2:09.6	David's day one reveals what his priorities are, what his presence is like, who he really is.
2:20.9	At the same time, it unearths this question,
