1 Samuel 16:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷ The Lord told Samuel, “Don’t look at his appearance or his height,^[a] for I’ve rejected him. Truly, God does not see^[b] what man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord sees the heart.”

⁸ Then Jesse summoned Abinadab and brought him before Samuel, and he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.” ⁹ Then Jesse brought Shammah, and he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.”
