And Isai called Abinadab, and brought him before Samuel. And he said: Neither hath the Lord chosen this.

And Jesse calleth unto Abinadab, and causeth him to pass by before Samuel; and he saith, 'Also on this Jehovah hath not fixed.'

Then Jesse sent for Abinadab and made him come before Samuel. And he said, The Lord has not taken this one.

And Jesse called Abinadab, and he brought him before Samuel. And he said, "Neither has the Lord chosen this one."

Then Jesse called Abinadab,.... His second son, 1-Samuel 17:13.
and made him pass before Samuel: that he might take a full view of him:
and he said, neither hath the Lord chosen this; which he knew by a private suggestion from him.
