Usage: Jesse is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the father of King David. He is a significant figure in the lineage of David and, by extension, the genealogy of Jesus Christ. Context: Jesse, the son of Obed and grandson of Boaz and Ruth, is a prominent figure in the Old Testament. He is most notably recognized as the father of David, the second king of Israel. Jesse lived in Bethlehem, where he raised his family, including his eight sons. The most famous of these sons, David, was anointed by the prophet Samuel to be king over Israel, as recorded in 1 Samuel 16:1-13. Jesse's lineage is significant in biblical history, as it establishes the Davidic line, which is central to messianic prophecies. The Book of Ruth (Ruth 4:17-22) traces Jesse's ancestry, highlighting his connection to the tribe of Judah. Jesse's role in the biblical narrative underscores the importance of family lineage and divine selection in the unfolding of God's plan for Israel. In the New Testament, Jesse is mentioned in the genealogies of Jesus Christ, affirming the fulfillment of the messianic promise through David's line (Matthew 1:5-6, Luke 3:32).
