6 When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab (God is father) and said, “Surely here before the LORD {YHWH} is His anointed.” 7 But the LORD {YHWH} said to Samuel (his name is El), “Do not consider his appearance or height, for I have rejected him; the LORD does not see as man does. For man sees the outward appearance, but the LORD sees the heart.” 8 Then Jesse (I possess) called Abinadab (my father is willing) and presented him to Samuel (his name is El), who said, “The LORD {YHWH} has not chosen this one either.” 9 Next Jesse (I possess) presented Shammah (Shimei), but Samuel said, “The LORD {YHWH} has not chosen this one either.” 10 Thus Jesse (I possess) made seven of his sons pass before Samuel (his name is El), but Samuel told him, “The LORD {YHWH} has not chosen any of these.” 1 Samuel 16:6-10, Berean Annotated Bible.
