Jesse was a Bethlehem shepherd and farmer who became the father of King David after his older brothers had been passed over by the prophet Samuel. Though Jesse himself remains largely unseen in Scripture, his lineage produced Israel's greatest king and, according to later revelation, the Messiah Himself.

Hear their story sung

"Yahweh said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite; for I have provided a king for myself among his sons.”"
1 Samuel 16
