1 Samuel 16:6-8

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁶ When they entered, he looked at ^(A)Eliab and thought, “Surely the Lord’s anointed is 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 ^[a]God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, ^(B)but the Lord looks at the heart.” ⁸ Then Jesse called ^(C)Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, “The Lord has not chosen this one either.”
