1 Samuel 16:9 in Context — 1 Samuel 16

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.

9 Fez logo passar Jessé a Samá. E ele disse: Tampouco a este o SENHOR escolheu.

10 E Jessé fez passar seus sete filhos diante de Samuel; mas Samuel disse a Jessé: o SENHOR não escolheu a estes.

11 Então disse Samuel a Jessé: Acabaram-se os moços? E ele respondeu: Ainda resta o mais novo, que apascenta as ovelhas. E disse Samuel a Jessé: Envia por ele, porque não nos assentaremos à mesa até que ele venha aqui.
