1 Samuel 16:6-11

Coverdale(i) 6 Now wha they came in, he behelde Eliab, & thoughte, whether he shulde be his anoynted before the LORDE. 7 But ye LORDE sayde vnto Samuel: loke not vpon his countenaunce, ner vpon the tallnesse of his person, For I iudge not after the sighte of man. A man hath respecte vnto the thinge that is before his eyes, but the LORDE loketh vpon the hert. 8 Then Isai called Abinadab, & broughte him before Samuel. And he sayde: This hath not the LORDE chosen. 9 Then Isai broughte Samma. But he sayde: This also hath not the LORDE chosen. 10 Then broughte Isai his seuen sonnes before Samuel. Neuertheles Samuel saide vnto Isai: The LORDE hath chosen none of these. 11 And Samuel sayde vnto Isai: Are here all the childre? He sayde: There is yet one ye leest of all, and beholde, he kepeth the shepe. The sayde Samuel vnto Isai: Sende & cause him to be fetched, for we will not syt downe at the table, vntyll he come.
