Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab; Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth; Obed the father of Jesse,

Jesse the father of King David. David was the father of Solomon, whose mother had been Uriah's wife;

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

Then He deposed him and raised up for them David to be king, to whom He bore this testimony, 'I have found in David, the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who will do all that my will requires.'

And again Isaiah says: "The noted Son of Jesse will come, even He who rises to rule the heathen; on Him the heathen will set their hope."
