1 Samuel 16:6

When they arrived, Samuel ¹  noticed ²  Eliab and said to himself, ³  “Surely, here before the Lord stands his chosen king!” ⁴ 

When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, "Surely the LORD’s anointed stands here before the LORD."

When they entered, he looked at Eliab and thought, "Surely the LORD’S anointed is before Him."

When they arrived, Samuel took one look at Eliab and thought, "Surely this is the LORD’s anointed!"

When they arrived, Samuel took one look at Eliab and thought, "Here he is! GOD's anointed!"

Now when they came, looking at Eliab, he said, Clearly the man of the Lord’s selection is before him.

When they came, he looked on Eliab and thought, "Surely the Lord’s anointed is now before the LORD."

So it was, when they came, that he looked at Eliab and said, "Surely the LORD’S anointed is before Him."

When they arrived, Samuel ¹  noticed ²  Eliab and said to himself, ³  “Surely, here before the Lord stands his chosen king!” ⁴
