Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

יִשַׁי (perhaps “wealthy,” see יֵשׁ No. 1 ). pr.n. Jesse, a shepherd of Bethlehem, the father of King David, who, as being of humble birth, was called contemptuously by his enemies בֶּן־יִשַׁי 1 Samuel 20:27, 30:31 22:7, 1 Samuel 22:8; 2 Samuel 20:1; 1 Kings 12:16 (1 Samuel 16:1, seq.); the stem of Jesse, Isaiah 11:1 poet. used of the family of David, and the root, i.e. the shoot of Jesse, ib. ver. 10 Isaiah 11:10, used of the Messiah. [Compare Revelation 22:16, “I am the root and offspring of David;” root can never be put for shoot as suggested by Gesenius, but the Lord Jesus Christ, son of God and son of David, was both.] LXX. Ἰεσσαί.
