1 Samuel 16:7-9
Wycliffe Bible
7 And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold thou not his cheer (Look thou not at his face), neither the highness of his stature; for I have cast him away, and I deem not by man’s sight; for man seeth those things that be open, but the Lord beholdeth the heart.
8 And Jesse called Abinadab, and brought him before Samuel; and he said, Neither the Lord hath chosen this (and he said, The Lord hath not chosen this man either).
9 And Jesse brought forth Shammah; of whom Samuel said, Also the Lord hath not chosen this (man).

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.”
