1 Samuel 16:6-10 ▼

6 And it was in their coming that he saw Eliab and said, “Surely before YHWH is His anointed.”

7 And YHWH said to Samuel, “Look not at his appearance, or at the height of his stature, because I have refused him. For it is not as the man sees—for the man looks at the eyes, and YHWH looks at the heart.”

8 And Jesse called to Abinadab and made him pass before the face of Samuel. And he said, “Also this one YHWH has not chosen.”

9 And Jesse made Shammah pass over, and he said, “This one YHWH has not chosen.”

10 And Jesse made seven of his sons pass over before the face of Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, “YHWH has not chosen these.”
