4 Fez pois Samuel como lhe disse o SENHOR: e logo que ele chegou a Belém, os anciãos da cidade lhe saíram a receber com medo, e disseram: É pacífica tua vinda?
5 E ele respondeu: Sim, venho a sacrificar ao SENHOR; santificai-vos, e vinde comigo ao sacrifício. E santificando ele a Jessé e a seus filhos, chamou-os ao sacrifício.
6 E aconteceu que quando eles vieram, ele viu a Eliabe, e disse: De certo diante do SENHOR está seu ungido.
7 E o SENHOR respondeu a Samuel: Não olhes à sua aparência, nem à sua grande estatura, porque eu o rejeito; porque o SENHOR olha não o que o homem olha; pois que o homem olha o que está diante de seus olhos, mas o SENHOR olha o coração.
8 Então chamou Jessé a Abinadabe, e fez-lhe passar diante de Samuel, o qual disse: nem a este o SENHOR escolheu.
