1 Samuel 16:8 in Context — 1 Samuel 16

6 Y aconteció que como ellos vinieron, él vió á Eliab, y dijo: De cierto delante de Jehová está su ungido.

7 Y Jehová respondió á Samuel: No mires á su parecer, ni á lo grande de su estatura, porque yo lo desecho; porque [Jehová mira] no lo que el hombre mira; pues que el hombre mira [lo que está] delante de sus ojos, mas Jehová mira el corazón.

8 Entonces llamó Isaí á Abinadab, é hízole pasar delante de Samuel, el cual dijo: Ni á éste ha elegido Jehová.

9 Hizo luego pasar Isaí á Samma. Y él dijo: Tampoco á éste ha elegido Jehová.

10 E hizo pasar Isaí sus siete hijos delante de Samuel; mas Samuel dijo á Isaí: Jehová no ha elegido á éstos.
