Names of God Bible
6 When they came, he saw Eliab and thought, “Certainly, here in Yahweh’s presence is his anointed king.”
7 But Yahweh told Samuel, “Don’t look at his appearance or how tall he is, because I have rejected him. Elohim does not see as humans see.[a] Humans look at outward appearances, but Yahweh looks into the heart.”
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab and brought him to Samuel. But Samuel said, “Yahweh has not chosen this one either.”
