22 and Oʹbed became father to Jesʹse;+ and Jesʹse became father to David.+

16 Eventually Jehovah said to Samuel: “For how long will you be mourning for Saul,+ while I, on the other hand, have rejected him from ruling as king over Israel?+ Fill your horn with oil+ and go. I shall send you to Jesʹse+ the Bethʹle·hem·ite, because I have provided among his sons a king for myself.”+

13 Jesʹse, in turn, became father to his firstborn E·liʹab,+ and A·binʹa·dab+ the second, and Shimʹe·a+ the third,

11 And there must go forth a twig+ out of the stump* of Jesʹse;+ and out of his roots a sprout*+ will be fruitful.*+

22 And after removing him,+ he raised up for them David as king,+ respecting whom he bore witness and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesʹse,+ a man agreeable to my heart,+ who will do all the things I desire.’+

12 And again Isaiah says: “There will be the root of Jesʹse,+ and there will be one arising to rule nations;+ on him nations will rest their hope.”+
