Commemoration
Esther, matriarch

---

Esther has an impressive family tree. Her great-grandfather is Jesse from the tribe of Judah. Jesse had seven sons, and his first-born son was Eliah. Eliah’s daughter was Abihail, and Abihail’s daughter was Esther. Jesse’s last-born son was the legendary King David…that same boy who conquered Goliath. David is the ancestor of our Savior Jesus Christ. Esther is a direct descendant of Jesse, and King David is her great-uncle.
