1 Samuel 16:6-9

6And it came to pass, when they were comeH935, that he lookedH7200 on EliabH446, and saidH559, Surely Yhwh'sH3068 anointedH4899 is before him.1 7But YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, LookH5027 not on his countenanceH4758, or on the heightH1364 of his statureH6967; because I have refusedH3988 him: for the Lord seeth not as manH120 seethH7200; for manH120 lookethH7200 on the outward appearanceH5869, But YhwhH3068 lookethH7200 on the heartH3824.2 8Then JesseH3448 calledH7121 AbinadabH41, and made him passH5674 beforeH6440 SamuelH8050. And he saidH559, Neither hath YhwhH3068 chosenH977 this. 9Then JesseH3448 made ShammahH8048 to pass byH5674. And he saidH559, Neither hath YhwhH3068 chosenH977 this.3
