 Jesse
    firm, or a gift, a son of Obed, the son of Boaz and Ruth (Ruth
    4:17, 22; Matt. 1:5, 6; Luke 3:32). He was the father of eight
    sons, the youngest of whom was David (1 Sam. 17:12). The phrase
    "stem of Jesse" is used for the family of David (Isa. 11:1), and
    "root of Jesse" for the Messiah (Isa. 11:10; Rev. 5:5). Jesse
    was a man apparently of wealth and position at Bethlehem (1 Sam.
    17:17, 18, 20; Ps. 78:71). The last reference to him is of

    Sam. 22:3).
