Jesse:

firm, or a gift, a son of Obed, the son of Boaz and Ruth (Rth 4:17,22; Mat 1:5,6; Luk 3:32). He was the father of eight sons, the youngest of whom was David (1Sa 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 (1Sa 17:17,18,20; Psa 78:71). The last reference to him is of David's procuring for him an asylum with the king of Moab (1Sa 22:3).
