4 So Samuel did what the Lord said, and went to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town atrembled at his coming, and said, b“Do you come peaceably?”
5 And he said, “Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. aSanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.” Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons, and invited them to the sacrifice.
6 So it was, when they came, that he looked at aEliab and bsaid, “Surely the Lord’s anointed is before Him!”
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.”
