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

and Jesse the father of King David. 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 Salmon, the son of Nahshon,

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

And again, Isaiah says: "There shall be a root of Jesse; and he who shall rise to rule over the Gentiles, in him the Gentiles shall hope."
