And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a twig shall grow forth out of his roots.
2 And the spirit of HaShem shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of HaShem.
Some contend that “Jesse” is a reference to David’s father
According to Encyclopedia Biblica, however, we read:
“Jesse is contracted from Ishmael”. (Cheyene , Encyclopedia Biblica under “names”)
