and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed was the father of Jesse,

and Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of 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,

When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.'

Again, Isaiah says, "There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will hope."
