and Salmon became the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz became the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed became the father of Jesse,

and Jesse became the father of David the king. And David became the father of Solomon by the [wife] of Uriah,

The son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the son of Nahshon,

And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

And again Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who comes to be the ruler over the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles put their hope.
