Then invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will let you know what you are to do. You will anoint for Me whom I tell you.” So Samuel did what ADONAI said and went to Beth-lehem. The elders of the town came out to meet him trembling, and asked, “Do you come in shalom?” “In shalom,” he said. “I have come to sacrifice to ADONAI. Consecrate yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.” He also consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice. Upon their arrival, he saw Eliab and thought, “Surely, ADONAI’s anointed one is before Him.” But ADONAI said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or his stature, because I have already refused him. For He does not see a man as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but ADONAI looks into the heart.”
