Ignoring outward appearance, God chose David to be king of Israel, according to the principle: “Not the way man sees is the way God sees, because mere man sees what appears to the eyes; but as for Jehovah, he sees what the heart is. ” ​ — 1 Samuel 16: 7.
Duke shpërfillur pamjen e jashtme, Perëndia e zgjodhi Davidin që të ishte mbret i Izraelit, sipas parimit: « Zoti nuk shikon si shikon njeriu, njeriu shikon pamjen, kurse Zoti shikon zemrën. » ​ — 1 Samuelit 16: 7.
