17 Then the neighbor women gave him a name. They said, “A son has been born to Na·oʹmi,” and they named him Oʹbed.+ He is the father of Jesʹse,+ David’s father.

58 Saul now said to him: “Whose son are you, boy?” to which David said: “The son of your servant Jesʹse+ the Bethʹle·hem·ite.”+

22 After removing him, he raised up for them David as king,+ about whom he bore witness and said: ‘I have found David the son of Jesʹse+ a man agreeable to my heart;+ he will do all the things I desire.’ 23 According to his promise, from the offspring* of this man, God has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus.+

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