Isaiah 11:1

One of Jesse’s sons was David, who followed Saul as king of Israel. David overcame all of Israel’s enemies. He established national *worship. And he prepared for the construction of the *Temple in *Jerusalem (see 1 Chronicles Chapter s 11 to 29).

• ‘Son of David’ was a title of the *Messiah that the people in Judah and Israel were expecting.
