1 Samuel 16:6-9

1. 6 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD's anointed is before him.

2. 7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

3. 8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.

4. 9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.
