0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:11.5	I'm Patrick Miller. And I'm Keith Simon. Right now we're working through the story of David's life found in first and second Samuel.
0:18.0	What do we care about most whenever it comes to others? Is it how they look? How they make us feel? How they make
0:26.4	us look? How much money they make. What they have to offer, whether they're interesting
0:31.8	or funny, engaging, fun.
0:35.0	When Israel first asked God for a king, they wanted a king who was a lot like the kings

1:20.0	He's the sweet Psalmist of Israel in the book of Psalms. He's the sire of the coming Messiah and the prophets.
1:28.0	And in modern times we tend to see David as kind of this pious shepherd boy who eventually becomes a faithful
1:36.4	king by God's grace. But you know what I think is interesting? First and Second Samuel, it won't let this simplistic vision of David fly.
1:47.4	The portrait of David in first and second Samuel is complex.
1:51.3	I love how one scholar put it. He said David is portrayed as a giant
1:56.7	slayer, shepherd, musician, manipulator of men, outlaw, disguised madman, loyal
