1 Samuel 16:4-11

And Samuel
<08050>
did
<06213> (8799)
that which the LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8765)_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to Bethlehem
<01035>_.
And the elders
<02205>
of the town
<05892>
trembled
<02729> (8799)
at his coming
<07125> (8800)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Comest
<0935> (8800)
thou peaceably
<07965>_?
{coming: Heb. meeting}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Peaceably
<07965>_:
I am come
<0935> (8804)
to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)
unto the LORD
<03068>_:
sanctify
<06942> (8690)
yourselves, and come
<0935> (8804)
with me to the sacrifice
<02077>_.
And he sanctified
<06942> (8762)
Jesse
<03448>
and his sons
<01121>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
them to the sacrifice
<02077>_.
And it came to pass, when they were come
<0935> (8800)_,
that he looked
<07200> (8799)
on Eliab
<0446>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Surely the LORD'S
<03068>
anointed
<04899>
[is] before him. {Eliab: called Elihu}
But the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Samuel
<08050>_,
Look
<05027> (8686)
not on his countenance
<04758>_,
or on the height
<01364>
of his stature
<06967>_;
because I have refused
<03988> (8804)
him: for [the LORD seeth] not as man
<0120>
seeth
<07200> (8799)_;
for man
<0120>
looketh
<07200> (8799)
on the outward appearance
<05869>_,
but the LORD
<03068>
looketh
<07200> (8799)
on the heart
<03824>_.
{outward...: Heb. eyes}
Then Jesse
<03448>
called
<07121> (8799)
Abinadab
<041>_,
and made him pass
<05674> (8686)
before
<06440>
Samuel
<08050>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Neither hath the LORD
<03068>
chosen
<0977> (8804)
this.
Then Jesse
<03448>
made Shammah
<08048>
to pass by
<05674> (8686)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Neither hath the LORD
<03068>
chosen
<0977> (8804)
this. {Shammah: Shimeah, also called, Shimma}
Again, Jesse
<03448>
made seven
<07651>
of his sons
<01121>
to pass
<05674> (8686)
before
<06440>
Samuel
<08050>_.
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jesse
<03448>_,
The LORD
<03068>
hath not chosen
<0977> (8804)
these.
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jesse
<03448>_,
Are here all
<08552> (8804)
[thy] children
<05288>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
There remaineth
<07604> (8804)
yet the youngest
<06996>_,
and, behold, he keepeth
<07462> (8802)
the sheep
<06629>_.
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jesse
<03448>_,
Send
<07971> (8798)
and fetch
<03947> (8798)
him: for we will not sit down
<05437> (8799)
till he come
<0935> (8800)
hither
<06311>_.
{down: Heb. round}
