Salmon the father of Boaz (by Rahab), Boaz the father of Obed (by Ruth), Obed the father of Jesse,

and Jesse the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon (by the wife of Uriah),

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

After removing him, God raised up David their king. He testified about him: 'I have found David the son of Jesse to be a man after my heart, who will accomplish everything I want him to do.'

And again Isaiah says, "The root of Jesse will come, and the one who rises to rule over the Gentiles, in him will the Gentiles hope."
