1 Samuel 16:5-7
International Standard Version
5 He said, “Peace, I’ve come to sacrifice to the Lord. Consecrate yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.” Samuel[a] consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.
6 When they arrived, Samuel[b] saw Eliab, and said, “Surely he’s the Lord’s[c] anointed.”[d]
7 The Lord told Samuel, “Don’t look at his appearance or his height,[e] for I’ve rejected him. Truly, God does not see[f] what man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord sees the heart.”
