1 Samuel 16:7-9
English Standard Version
7 But the Lord said to Samuel, (A)“Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, (B)but the Lord looks on the heart.” 8 Then Jesse called (C)Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.” 9 Then Jesse made (D)Shammah pass by. And he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.”

8 Then Jesse called Abinadab(C) and had him pass in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, “The Lord has not chosen this one either.” 9 Jesse then had Shammah(D) pass by, but Samuel said, “Nor has the Lord chosen this one.”
