Ruth 4:22

22Obed fathered Jesse, and Jesse fathered David.

1 Samuel 16:1

David Anointed King

1The Lord said to Samuel, a“How long will you grieve over Saul, since bI have rejected him from being king over Israel? cFill your horn with oil, and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, dfor I have provided for myself a king among his sons.”

1 Samuel 16:11-13

11Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all your sons here?” And he said, e“There remains yet the youngest, ▼
▼Or smallest
 but behold, he is keeping the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse, g“Send and get him, for we will not sit down till he comes here.” 12And he sent and brought him in. Now he was hruddy and had beautiful eyes and was handsome. And the Lord said, i“Arise, anoint him, for this is he.” 13Then Samuel took jthe horn of oil kand anointed him in the midst of his brothers. lAnd the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon David from that day forward. And Samuel rose up and went to Ramah.

1 Samuel 17:12

12Now David was mthe son of an nEphrathite of Bethlehem in Judah, onamed Jesse, pwho had eight sons. In the days of Saul the man was already old and advanced in years. ▼
▼Septuagint, Syriac; Hebrew  advanced among men

1 Samuel 17:58

58And Saul said to him, “Whose son are you, young man?” And David answered, r“I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.”

1 Samuel 20:30-31

30Then Saul’s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse, rebellious woman, do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness? 31For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, neither you nor your kingdom shall be established. Therefore send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die.”

1 Samuel 22:8

8that all of you have conspired against me? No one discloses to me swhen my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse. None of you tis sorry for me or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, uto lie in wait, as at this day.”

2 Samuel 23:1

The Last Words of David

1Now these are the last words of David:

The oracle of David, the son of Jesse,
the oracle of vthe man who was raised on high,
wthe anointed of the God of Jacob,
the sweet psalmist of Israel: ▼
▼Or  the favorite of the songs of Israel
