1 Samuel 16:6-10 ▼

6 When they entered, he looked at Eliab and thought, “Surely the LORD’S anointed is standing before Him.”

7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God does not see as man sees, since man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”

8 Then Jesse called Abinadab and had him pass before Samuel. But he said, “The LORD has not chosen this one, either.”

9 Next Jesse had Shammah pass by. And he said, “The LORD has not chosen this one, either.”

10 So Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel. But Samuel said to Jesse, “The LORD has not chosen these.”
