and Salmon begot Boaz from Rahab, and Boaz begot Obed from Ruth, and Obed begot Jesse,

and Jesse begot David the king. And David begot Solomon from the widow of Uriah,

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

And having removed him, he raised up David for a king to them, also about whom he said, when he testified, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man according to my heart, who will do all my purposes.

And again, Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who arises to reign over Gentiles. In him Gentiles will hope.
