He was the father of Jesse, the father of David.

15Surely then you will slift up your face without tblemish;

 17And your life will be vbrighter than the noonday;
its darkness will be like the morning.

you will look around and wtake your rest in security.
 19You will xlie down, and none will make you afraid;
many will ycourt your favor.
