1 Samuel 16:1-10

1And Jehovah saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, How long wilt thou mournH56 for SaulH7586, seeingH7200 I have rejectedH3988 him from being kingH4428 over IsraelH3478? fillH4390 thy hornH7161 with oilH8081, and goH7971: I will sendH7971 thee to JesseH3448 the Beth-lehemite; for I have provided me a kingH4428 among his sonsH1121. 2And SamuelH8050 saidH559, HowH349 can I goH935? if SaulH7586 hearH8085 it, he will killH2026 me. And Jehovah saidH559, TakeH3947 a heiferH5697 with thee, and sayH559, I am comeH935 to sacrificeH2076 to Jehovah. 3And callH7121 JesseH3448 to the sacrificeH2077, and I will show thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anointH4886 unto me him whom I name unto thee. 4And SamuelH8050 did that which Jehovah spake, and cameH935 to Beth-lehem. And the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892 cameH935 to meetH7122 him tremblingH2729, and saidH559, Comest thou peaceably? 5And he saidH559, Peaceably; I am comeH935 to sacrificeH2077 unto Jehovah: sanctifyH6942 yourselves, and comeH935 with me to the sacrificeH2077. And he sanctifiedH6942 JesseH3448 and his sonsH1121, and calledH7121 them to the sacrificeH2077.

6And it cameH935 to pass, when they wereH1961 comeH935, that he lookedH7200 on EliabH446, and saidH559, SurelyH389 Jehovah’s anointedH4899 is before him. 7But Jehovah saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, LookH7200 not on his countenance, or on the heightH6967 of his statureH6967; because I have rejectedH3988 him: for Jehovah seeth not as manH120 seeth; for manH120 looketh on the outward appearanceH4758, but Jehovah looketh on the heartH3824. 8Then JesseH3448 calledH7121 AbinadabH41, and made him passH5674 before SamuelH8050. And he saidH559, Neither hath Jehovah chosenH977 this. 9Then JesseH3448 made ShammahH8048 to passH5674 by. And he saidH559, Neither hath Jehovah chosenH977 this. 10And JesseH3448 made sevenH7651 of his sonsH1121 to passH5674 before SamuelH8050. And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto JesseH3448, Jehovah hath not chosenH977 these.
