1 Samuel 16:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance, or at the height of his stature, because I have refused him. For I see not as man sees. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD beholds the heart.”

⁸ Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him come before Samuel. And he said, “Nor has the LORD chosen this one.”

⁹ Then Jesse made Shammah come. And he said, “Nor has the LORD chosen him.”
