# Jesse

Source: https://enocharchive.com/characters/jesse (Enoch Archive).

Jesse appears in the genealogies of the Cave of Treasures as the son of Obed and the father of David the king. Obed was born to Boaz and Ruth the Moabitess, herself connected to the seed of Lot, and the line continues from Jesse through David to Solomon. David the son of Jesse killed one who reviled Israel and blasphemed against God, after which David reigned over the children of Israel.

In the Kebra Nagast the kingship over Israel passed to David after the death of Jesse, and a pearl is described as coming into the belly of Jesse before reaching David. The Ascension of Isaiah refers to the Psalms in the parables of David the son of Jesse.
