- "But the LORDª saidª° unto¹ Samuel,ª Lookª° not¹ on¹ his countenance,ª or on¹ the heightª of his stature;ª because¹ I have refusedª° him: for¹ [the LORD seeth] not¹ as¹ manª seeth;ª° for¹ manª lookethª° on the outward appearance,ª but the LORDª lookethª° on the heart.ª" {1Sm 16:7} + "Saulª and Jonathanª [were] lovelyª° and pleasantª in their lives,ª and in their deathª they were not¹ divided:ª° they were swifterª° than eagles,ª¹ they were strongerª° than lions.ª¹" {2Sm 1:23} + "And there¹ were¹ threeª sonsª of Zeruiahª there, Joab,ª and Abishai,ª and Asahel:ª and Asahelª [was as] lightª of footª as aª wildª¹ roe.ª ... Howbeit he refusedª° to turn aside:ª° wherefore Abnerª with the hinder end² of¹ the spearª smoteª° him underª the fifthª [rib], that the spearª came outª° behindª¹ him; and he fell downª° there,¹ and diedª° in the same place:ª and it came to pass,¹ [that] as many¹ as cameª° to¹ the placeª where¹ Asahelª fell downª° and diedª° stood still.ª°" {2Sm 2:18-23} + "I returned,ª° and sawª° under¹ the sun,ª that¹ the raceª [is] not¹ to the swift,ª nor¹ the battleª to the strong,ª neither¹ yet¹ breadª to the wise,ª nor¹ yet¹ richesª to men of understanding,ª° nor¹ yet¹ favourª to men of skill;ª° but¹ timeª and chanceª happenethª° to¹ them all.¹" {Ecc 9:11}
