Jesse (/ˈdʒɛsi/ JESS-ee)[3] or Yishai (Hebrew: יִשַׁי – Yīšay,[a] in pausa Hebrew: יִשָׁי – Yīšāy, meaning "King" or "God's gift"; Syriac: ܐܝܫܝ – Eshai; Greek: Ἰεσσαί – Iessaí; Latin: Issai, Isai, Jesse); (Arabic: إيشا, romanized: ʾīshā) is a figure described in the Hebrew Bible as the father of David, who became the king of the Israelites. His son David is sometimes called simply "Son of Jesse" (Ben Yishai). The role as both father of King David and ancestor of Jesus has been used in various depictions in art, poetry and music e.g. as the Tree of Jesse or in hymns like "Lo, how a rose e'er blooming."
