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

Salmon begot Boa of Rachab: Boaz begot Obed of Ruth: Obed begot Jesse:

Jesse begot David the king: David the king begot Solomon of her who had been the wife of Uriah:

And again, Isaiah says: There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to rule the Gentiles, in him shall the Gentiles trust.

And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom he gave this testimony: I have found David the son of Jesse a man after my own heart, who will do all my will.
