Jesse

Naval answered David's servants, "Who is David? Who is the son of Yishai? There are many servants nowadays running away from their masters.

There happened to be there a scoundrel whose name was Sheva the son of Bikhri, a Binyamini. He sounded the shofar and said, "We have no share in David, no inheritance in the son of Yishai; so, Isra'el, every man to his tent!"

Here are David's last words: "This is the speech of David the son of Yishai, the speech of the man who has been raised up, the one anointed by the God of Ya'akov, the sweet singer of Isra'el.

When all Isra'el saw that the king wasn't listening to them, the people answered the king, "Do we have any share in David? We have no heritage in the son of Yishai! Go to your tents, Isra'el! Care for your own house, David!" So Isra'el left for their tents.

Bo'az fathered 'Oved; 'Oved fathered Yishai;

and Yishai fathered Eli'av his firstborn, Avinadav second, Shim'a third,

instead of consulting ADONAI. Therefore ADONAI put him to death and turned the rulership over to David the son of Yishai.

Then the Spirit covered 'Amasai the chief commander, and he said: "We are yours, David; on your side, son of Yishai! Peace, peace to you, and peace to your helpers; for your God helps you." David welcomed them and made them senior officers.

Now David the son of Yishai ruled over all Isra'el.

When all Isra'el [saw] that the king wasn't listening to them, the people answered the king, "Do we have any share in David? We have no heritage in the son of Yishai! Everyone to your tents, Isra'el! Care for your own house, David!" So all Isra'el left for their tents.

Rechav'am married Machalat the daughter of Yerimot the son of David and Avichayil the daughter of Eli'av the son of Yishai;

This completes the prayers of David the son of Yishai.

But a branch will emerge from the trunk of Yishai, a shoot will grow from his roots.

On that day the root of Yishai, which stands as a banner for the peoples - the Goyim will seek him out, and the place where he rests will be glorious.

Salmon was the father of Bo`az (his mother was Rachav), Bo`az was the father of `Oved (his mother was Rut), `Oved was the father of Yishai,

Yishai was the father of David the king. David was the father of Shlomo (his mother was the wife of Uriyah),

of Yishai, of `Oved, of Bo`az, of Salmon, of Nachshon,

God removed him and raised up David as king for them, making his approval known with these words, ‘I found David Ben-Yishai to be a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want.’

And again, Yesha‘yahu says, “The root of Yishai will come, he who arises to rule Gentiles; Gentiles will put their hope in him.”
