and Salmon begat Boaz of Rachab, and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse,

and Jesse begat David the king, and David the king begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Urias,

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

And removing him, he raised up unto them David to be king; respecting whom also he spake testifying, "I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who shall perform all my intentions."

And again Isaiah saith, "There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that ariseth to reign over the Gentiles, in him shall the Gentiles trust."
