Jesse

Jesse was a man who lived in Bethlehem, in the land of Judah. He was a farmer, and he had many sons. One of his sons was David, who would become the king of Israel. Jesse was a good man, and he loved his sons very much. He taught them how to farm, and he also taught them about the Lord. David was a very special child, and Jesse knew that he was destined for greatness. One day, a prophet came to Jesse's house. The prophet told Jesse that one of his sons would be the next king of Israel. Jesse was overjoyed, and he immediately began to pray for God to choose the right son. The prophet looked at Jesse's sons, one by one. He saw that they were all strong and handsome, but he knew that none of them was the right one. Finally, the prophet saw David. He was a young boy, with a humble and gentle spirit. The prophet knew that David was the one who would be the next king of Israel. Jesse was very proud of David, and he knew that he would make a great king. He gave David his blessing, and he watched as David went on to lead Israel into a new era
