1 Samuel 16:6-8
International Standard Version
6 When they arrived, Samuel[a] saw Eliab, and said, “Surely he’s the Lord’s[b] anointed.”[c]
7 The Lord told Samuel, “Don’t look at his appearance or his height,[d] for I’ve rejected him. Truly, God does not see[e] what man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord sees the heart.”
8 Then Jesse summoned Abinadab and brought him before Samuel, and he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.”
