1 Samuel 16:8 Context
6¶ And it came to passe when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the Lords anointed is before him. 7But the Lord said vnto Samuel, Looke not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature, because I haue refused him: for the Lord seeth not, as man seeth; For man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. 8Then Iesse called Abinadab, and made him passe before Samuel: and he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this. 9Then Iesse made Shammah to passe by: and he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this. 10Againe Iesse made seuen of his sonnes to passe before Samuel; and Samuel said vnto Iesse, The Lord hath not chosen these.
