<P> These are two of the verses regarded by Christians as prophecy of the advent of Jesus, whom they consider to be the Christ and Messiah . These two prophesies are regarded by Bahá'ís to refer to Bahá'u'lláh, alleged to also have arisen from "the stump of Jesse". These prophesies are also regarded in Latter - Day Saint Movement about the coming Root of Jesse, a ensign who holds special priesthood keys and a gathering of the Lord's people . </P> <P> The Book of Chronicles names the seven sons of Jesse, including David as the seventh, as well as the names of two of his daughters, Zeruiah and Abigail . Evidently, from 1 Samuel 16, Jesse displayed an eighth unnamed individual as a son, while David, his youngest son, was tending the sheep . </P> <P> The "Geza of Jesse" is a plateau located just north of the valley of Jezreel in Israel said to have been originally cleared and settled by descendants of David . </P> <P> The Tomb of Ruth and Jesse is an old stone structure on a hilltop in Hebron which today serves as a synagogue . It receives numerous visitors every year, especially on the Jewish holiday of Shavuot when the Book of Ruth is read . The 1537 book Yihus HaAvos V'Neviim (Lineage of the Patriarch and the Prophets) describes the tomb as "a handsome building up on the mount, where Jesse, the King David's father is buried ." It includes a drawing of the site, and notes an "ancient Israelite burial ground" nearby and Crusader courtyard . Rabbi Moshe Basola wrote in his travel journal that the site houses a cave which connects to the Tomb of Machpela, an assertion postulated by many over the years . The site was refurbished in 2009 . </P>
