And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD’s anointed is before him.
Cuando llegaron, Samuel vio a Eliab y pensó para sí mismo: 'Seguramente este debe ser el que el SEÑOR ha escogido para ungir como rey.'
Samuel pensó que Eliab era el elegido de Dios para ser rey basándose en su apariencia.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative, the prophet Samuel was sent by God to the house of Jesse in Bethlehem to anoint a new king after Saul had been rejected for his disobedience. When Jesse's sons were presented, Samuel saw Eliab, the eldest, and assumed he was God's chosen one based on his strong and impressive appearance. This moment highlights the cultural tendency in ancient Israel to value outward qualities in leaders, setting up a key lesson from God about true worth.
