1 Samuel 16:9 Context
7But the Lord said vnto Samuel, Looke not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature, because I haue refused him: for the Lord seeth not, as man seeth; For man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. 8Then Iesse called Abinadab, and made him passe before Samuel: and he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this. 9Then Iesse made Shammah to passe by: and he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this. 10Againe Iesse made seuen of his sonnes to passe before Samuel; and Samuel said vnto Iesse, The Lord hath not chosen these. 11And Samuel saide vnto Iesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the yongest, and behold, he keepeth the sheepe. And Samuel said vnto Iesse, Send, and fetch him: for we will not sit downe, till hee come hither.
