and Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse,

and Jesse begat David the king. And David begat Solomon, of her that had been the wife of Urias;

of Jesse, of Obed, of Booz, of Salmon, of Naasson,

And having removed him he raised up to them David for king, of whom also bearing witness he said, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will.

And again, Esaias says, There shall be the root of Jesse, and one that arises, to rule over the nations: in him shall the nations hope.
