He had not inquired after Jehovah; therefore He killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.

Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David.

And Jehovah said to Samuel, How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons.

And a Branch shall go out from the trunk of Jesse, and a Shoot shall grow out of his roots.

And in that day there shall be the Root of Jesse, standing as a banner for the people; to Him the nations shall resort; and His resting place shall be glorious.

And Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse,

the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the son of Nahshon,

And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He bore witness and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.

And again, Isaiah says: There shall be a root of Jesse; and He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, in Him the Gentiles shall hope.
