Context
3Mwalike Yese aje kwenye dhabihu, nami nitakuonyesha utakalofanya. Utamtia mafuta kwa ajili yangu yule nitakayekuonyesha.” 4Samweli akafanya kile Bwana alichosema. Alipofika Bethlehemu, wazee wa mji wakatetemeka walipomlaki. Wakauliza, “Je, umekuja kwa amani?” 5Samweli akajibu, “Ndiyo, kwa amani; nimekuja kumtolea Bwana dhabihu. Jiwekeni wakfu na mje kwenye dhabihu pamoja nami.” Ndipo akamweka Yese wakfu pamoja na wanawe na kuwaalika kwenye dhabihu. 6Walipofika, Samweli akamwona Eliabu, naye akafikiri, “Hakika mpakwa mafuta wa Bwana anasimama hapa mbele za Bwana.” 7Lakini Bwana akamwambia Samweli, “Usitazame sura yake wala kimo chake, kwa kuwa nimemkataa. Bwana hatazami katika vile vitu mwanadamu avitazamavyo. Mwanadamu hutazama katika sura ya nje, lakini Bwana hutazama moyoni.”
