«b»Jesse
«/b»Meaning: firm, or a gift
a son of «u»Obed «/u», the son of «u»Boaz «/u» and «u»Ruth «/u» («u»Ruth 4:17 «/u», 22; Matt. 1:5, 6; Luke 3:32)
He was the father of eight sons, the youngest of whom was «u»David «/u» (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 «u»Messiah «/u» (Isa. 11:10; Rev. 5:5). Jesse was a man apparently of wealth and position at «u»Bethlehem «/u» (1 Sam. 17:17, 18, 20; Ps. 78:71). The last reference to him is of David's procuring for him an asylum with the king of «u»Moab «/u» («u»1 Sam. 22:3 «/u»).
