And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
All Commentaries on Isaiah 11:1 Go To Isaiah 11
Eusebius of Caesarea
AD 339
This shows in an obvious way that the birth of Christ would be from the root of Jesse, who was the father of David. This points toward the birth which the Gentiles would follow, having been prophetically announced by way of signs.
