1999 Chevy Blazer won't turn over

I was just given this blazer by a friend. It ran fine when he parked it in his driveway about a year ago. I bought a new battery, put it in, checked all the fluids, and tried to start it. I get nothing, not even a clicking noise from the starter. I tried tapping on the starter. I hear the fuel pump come on, and I hear the starter relay energize, but nothing else. I was wondering if something with the factory security system needs to be reset after being without power for so long. My friend who gave me the car assures me it was running fine when he parked it.
Thank You,
Ron
