Salmon (by Rahab), of Boaz; Boaz (by Ruth), of Obed; Obed, of Jesse;

And Jesse, of David the king. David (by Uriah's widow), was the father of Solomon;

son of Jesse, son of Obed, son of Boaz, son of Salmon, son of Nahshon,

After deposing him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also bore witness, when he said, "I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, and who will obey all my will.

Or again, as Isaiah says. There shall be the root of Jesse, And he that arises to rule over the Gentiles; On him shall the Gentiles hope.
