  6. ESV 1 Samuel 16:6 And he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice. When they came, he looked on Eliab and thought, “Surely the Lord's anointed is before him.”

  7. ESV 1 Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”

  11. ESV 1 Samuel 16:12-13a And he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy and had beautiful eyes and was handsome.
