Salmon begot Boa of Rachab: Boaz begot Obed of Ruth: Obed begot Jesse:

Jesse begot David the king: David the king begot Solomon of her who had been the wife of Uriah:

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

And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom he gave this testimony: I have found David the son of Jesse a man after my own heart, who will do all my will.

And again, Isaiah says: There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to rule the Gentiles, in him shall the Gentiles trust.
