JESSE

RTH 4:17  And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a 
son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of 
Jesse, the father of David.

22  And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.

1SA 16:1  And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, 
seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with 
oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have 
provided me a king among his sons.

2  And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the 
LORD said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the 
LORD.

3  And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt 
do: and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee.

4  And Samuel did that which the LORD spake, and came to Bethlehem. And the 
elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?

5  And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the LORD: sanctify 
yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and 
his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.

6  And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and 
said, Surely the LORD'S anointed is before him.

7  But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the 
height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not 
as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD 
looketh on the heart.

8  Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he 
said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.

9  Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the LORD 
chosen this.

10  Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel 
said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these.

11  And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, 
There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And 
Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till 
he come hither.

12  And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a 
beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, 
anoint him: for this is he.

13  Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his 
brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. 
So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

18  Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son 
of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant 
man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the 
LORD is with him.

19  Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy 
son, which is with the sheep.

20  And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a 
kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul.

21  And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; 
and he became his armourbearer.

22  And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before 
me; for he hath found favour in my sight.

23  And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that 
David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and 
was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

17:12  Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose 
name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men for an 
old man in the days of Saul.

13  And the three eldest sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to the 
battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab 
the firstborn, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.

14  And David was the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.

15  But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at 
Bethlehem.

16  And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself 
forty days.

17  And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah 
of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp of thy 
brethren;

18  And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and 
look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.

19  Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of 
Elah, fighting with the Philistines.

20  And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a 
keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the 
trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the 
battle.

21  For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army 
against army.

22  And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, 
and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren.

23  And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the 
Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, 
and spake according to the same words: and David heard them.

24  And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and 
were sore afraid.

25  And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? 
surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who 
killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him 
his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.

26  And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be 
done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach 
from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy 
the armies of the living God?

27  And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be 
done to the man that killeth him.

28  And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and 
Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down 
hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I 
know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down 
that thou mightest see the battle.

58  And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, thou young man? And David 
answered, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.

20:27  And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the 
month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, 
Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to 
day?

30  Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, 
Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast 
chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of 
thy mother's nakedness?

31  For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not 
be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, 
for he shall surely die.

22:3  And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of 
Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with 
you, till I know what God will do for me.

4  And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all 
the while that David was in the hold.

7  Then Saul said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye 
Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and 
vineyards, and make you all captains of thousands, and captains of 
hundreds;

8  That all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that 
sheweth me that my son hath made a league with the son of Jesse, and there 
is none of you that is sorry for me, or sheweth unto me that my son hath 
stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?

9  Then answered Doeg the Edomite, which was set over the servants of Saul, 
and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of 
Ahitub.

13  And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the 
son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast 
enquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as 
at this day?

25:10  And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? and who 
is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away 
every man from his master.

2SA 20:1  And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was 
Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We 
have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: 
every man to his tents, O Israel.

23:1  Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, 
and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, 
and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,

1KI 12:16  So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, 
the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? 
neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: 
now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.

1CH 2:12  And Boaz begat Obed, and Obed begat Jesse,

13  And Jesse begat his firstborn Eliab, and Abinadab the second, and 
Shimma the third,

14  Nethaneel the fourth, Raddai the fifth,

15  Ozem the sixth, David the seventh:

16  Whose sisters were Zeruiah, and Abigail. And the sons of Zeruiah; 
Abishai, and Joab, and Asahel, three.

17  And Abigail bare Amasa: and the father of Amasa was Jether the 
Ishmeelite.

10:14  And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the 
kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.

12:18  Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and 
he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, 
peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth 
thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.

29:26  Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

2CH 10:16  And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken unto 
them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? 
and we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, 
O Israel: and now, David, see to thine own house. So all Israel went to 
their tents.

11:18  And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of 
David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;

PSA 72:20  The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

ISA 11:1  And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a 
Branch shall grow out of his roots:

10  And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for 
an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall 
be glorious.

MAT 1:5  And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and 
Obed begat Jesse;

6  And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her 
that had been the wife of Urias;

LUK 3:32  Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was 
the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson,

ACT 13:22  And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be 
their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found 
David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all 
my will.

ROM 15:22  For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to 
you.
