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. ¹² Then sent he, & caused him be broughte. And he was well coloured wt fayre eyes & of a beutyfull countenaunce. And the LORDE saide: Aryse, and anoynte him, that is he. ¹³ The toke Samuel his oyle horne, & anoynted him amonge his brethre. And the sprete of the LORDE came vpo Dauid fro ye daye forth. As for Samuel, he gat him vp, & wente vnto Ramath.
