And the son of Salmon by Rahab was Boaz; and the son of Boaz by Ruth was Obed; and the son of Obed was Jesse;

And the son of Jesse was David the king; and the son of David was Solomon by her who had been 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 having put him on one side, he made David their king, to whom he gave witness, saying, I have taken David, the son of Jesse, a man dear to my heart, who will do all my pleasure.

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.
