But the <sc>Lordsc> said to Samuel, &#8220;Don&#8217;t be impressed by<n id="1" /> his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. God does not view things the way men do.<n id="2" /> People look on the outward appearance,<n id="3" /> but the <sc>Lordsc> looks at the heart.&#8221;p>

So let my lord the king now listen to the words of his servant. If the <sc>Lordsc> has incited you against me, may he take delight in<n id="1" /> an offering. But if men have instigated this,<n id="2" /> may they be cursed before the <sc>Lordsc>! For they have driven me away this day from being united with the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s inheritance, saying, &#8216;Go on, serve other gods!&#8217;
