N-AMS  |  5× in 1 sense
Jesse; father of King David, from Bethlehem, an ancestor of Jesus in the messianic line.
Jesse (Hebrew Yishai) was the Bethlehemite father of King David and thus a key figure in the messianic genealogy. He appears in both Matthean and Lukan genealogies of Jesus (Matt 1:5-6; Luke 3:32). Paul quotes Isaiah 11:10 in Rom 15:12—'the root of Jesse will arise to rule the Gentiles'—applying it to Christ. In Acts 13:22, Paul's synagogue sermon recalls how God raised David 'son of Jesse' as king. The French 'Jesse' and German 'Isai' reflect different transliteration traditions of the Hebrew name.
