1 Samuel 16:6-8

Modern English Version

⁶ When they came, he looked on Eliab, and said, “Surely the anointed of the Lord is before Him.”

⁷ But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees. For man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”

⁸ Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.”
