1 Samuel 16:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 As they came, he looked at Eliab and thought, “Surely the anointed is here before the Lord.” 7 But the Lord said to Samuel: Do not judge from his appearance or from his lofty stature, because I have rejected him. God does not see as a mortal, who sees the appearance. The Lord looks into the heart.(A) 8 (B)Then Jesse called Abinadab and presented him before Samuel, who said, “The Lord has not chosen him.”
