Event

Seven of Jesse’s sons pass before Samuel

사무엘 앞을 지난 이새의 아들 일곱

1 Samuel 16:6–10: when they have come, Samuel looks at Eliab, and says, “Surely the LORD’s anointed is before him.” But the LORD says 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 the LORD looks at the heart.” Then Jesse calls Abinadab, and makes him pass before Samuel. He says, “The LORD has not chosen this one, either.” Then Jesse makes Shammah to pass by. He says, “The LORD has not chosen this one, either.” Jesse makes seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. Samuel says to Jesse, “The LORD has not chosen these.” The Korean Revised Version has Samuel say the words about Eliab in his heart (마음에 이르기를), and names Samuel as the one who speaks at 16:8 and 16:9.
