1 Samuel 9:19

9:19 Samuel replied to Saul, “I am the seer! Go up in front of me to the high place! Today you will eat with me and in the morning I will send you away. I will tell you everything that you are thinking. ¹ 

1 Samuel 16:7

16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t be impressed by ²  his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. God does not view things the way men do. ³  People look on the outward appearance, ⁴  but the Lord looks at the heart.”

[9:19]  ¹ tn Heb “all that is in your heart.”

[16:7]  ² tn Heb “don’t look toward.”

[16:7]  ³ tn Heb “for not that which the man sees.” The translation follows the LXX, which reads, “for not as man sees does God see.” The MT has suffered from homoioteleuton or homoioarcton. See P. K. McCarter, I Samuel (AB), 274.

[16:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “to the eyes.”
