1 Samuel 16:9 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 16:9

7 But the Lord said to Samuel, ^a“Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have¹ refused him. ^bFor the Lord does not see as man sees; for man ^clooks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the ^dheart.”

8 So Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.”

9 Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.”

10 Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord has not chosen these.”

11 And Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all the young men here?” Then he said, “There remains yet the youngest, and there he is, keeping the ^asheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him. For we will not¹ sit down till he comes here.”
