Gen 18:13 And the LORD said unto
Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh,
saying, Shall I of a surety bear a
child, which am old?
Gen 18:14 Is any thing too hard for
the LORD? At the time appointed I
will return unto thee, according to the
time of life, and Sarah shall have a
son.

1Sa 9:1 Now there was a man of
Benjamin, whose name was Kish,
the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror,
the son of Bechorath, the son of
Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty
man of power.
1Sa 9:2 And he had a son, whose
name was Saul, a choice young man,
and a goodly: and there was not
among the children of Israel a
goodlier person than he: from his
shoulders and upward he was higher
than any of the people.

1Sa 16:6 And it came to pass,
when they were come, that he
looked on Eliab, and said, Surely
the LORD'S anointed is before
him.

1Sa 16:7 But the LORD said unto
Samuel, Look not on his countenance,
or on the height of his stature;
because I have refused him: for the
LORD seeth not as man seeth; for
man looketh on the outward
appearance, but the LORD looketh on
the heart.
1Sa 16:8 Then Jesse called
Abinadab, and made him pass before

Neither hath the LORD chosen this.

seven of his sons to pass before
Samuel. And Samuel said unto
Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen
these.
1Sa 16:11 And Samuel said unto
Jesse, Are here all thy children? And

youngest, and, behold, he keepeth
the sheep. And Samuel said unto
Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will
not sit down till he come hither.
A Pretty Boy and No warrior?
1Sa 16:12 And he sent, and
brought him in. Now he was
ruddy, and withal of a beautiful
countenance, and goodly to look
to. And the LORD said, Arise,
anoint him: for this is he.
Shepherds were looked down on
Gen 46:34 That ye shall say, Thy
servants' trade hath been about
cattle from our youth even until now,
both we, and also our fathers: that ye
may dwell in the land of Goshen; for
every shepherd is an abomination
unto the Egyptians.
Psa 13:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm
of David. How long wilt thou forget me,
O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou
hide thy face from me?
Psa 13:2 How long shall I take counsel
in my soul, having sorrow in my heart
daily? how long shall mine enemy be
exalted over me?
Psa 13:3 Consider and hear me,
O LORD my God: lighten mine
eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of
death;
Psa 13:4 Lest mine enemy say, I
have prevailed against him; and
those that trouble me rejoice
when I am moved.
Psa 63:1 A Psalm of David, when he
was in the wilderness of Judah. O
God, thou art my God; early will I
seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee,
my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and
thirsty land, where no water is;
Psa 63:2 To see thy power and thy
glory, so as I have seen thee in the
sanctuary.
Psa 63:3 Because thy
lovingkindness is better than life,
my lips shall praise thee.
Psa 63:4 Thus will I bless thee
while I live: I will lift up my
hands in thy name.
