But Yahweh said to Samuel, “Don’t look on his face, or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for I don’t see as man sees. For man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart.”
Since you have been precious and honored in my sight, and I have loved you, therefore I will give people in your place, and nations instead of your life.
