And YHWH said to Shemu`el, `How long are you going to mourn for Sha`ul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Yisra`el? Fill your horn with oil, and go, I am sending you to Yishai the Beyth Lehemite. For I have seen among his sons a sovereign for Myself.`

But YHWH said to Shemu'el, 'Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have refused him, for not as man sees, for man looks at the eyes, but YHWH looks at the heart.'
But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for [the LORD seeth] not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.
