1 Samuel 16:5 in Context — 1 Samuel 16

3 Tu inviteras Isaï au sacrifice; je te ferai connaître ce que tu dois faire, et tu oindras pour moi celui que je te dirai.

4 Samuel fit ce que l’Éternel avait dit, et il alla à Bethléhem. Les anciens de la ville accoururent effrayés au-devant de lui et dirent: Ton arrivée annonce-t-elle quelque chose d’heureux?

5 Il répondit: Oui; je viens pour offrir un sacrifice à l’Éternel. Sanctifiez-vous, et venez avec moi au sacrifice. Il fit aussi sanctifier Isaï et ses fils, et il les invita au sacrifice.

6 Lorsqu’ils entrèrent, il se dit, en voyant Éliab: Certainement, l’oint de l’Éternel est ici devant lui.

7 Et l’Éternel dit à Samuel: Ne prends point garde à son apparence et à la hauteur de sa taille, car je l’ai rejeté. L’Éternel ne considère pas ce que l’homme considère; l’homme regarde à ce qui frappe les yeux, mais l’Éternel regarde au cœur.
