The name Ozem means "strong" or "vigorous," which may reflect the character or aspirations of Jesse for his son. Ozem is not mentioned elsewhere in the biblical narrative, indicating that he did not play a significant role in the events recorded in Scripture. This lack of mention suggests that he lived a life outside the public eye, which was common for many individuals in large families during ancient times. The listing of Ozem in the genealogies underscores the importance of family lineage in Israelite culture, where each member, regardless of their prominence, contributed to the heritage and identity of the nation.<p><b>and David seventh</b><br>David, the seventh son of Jesse, is one of the most significant figures in the Bible. His position as the youngest son is noteworthy, as it contrasts with the cultural expectations of the time, where the eldest son typically held the position of prominence. David's rise from shepherd to king exemplifies the biblical theme of God choosing the unlikely or overlooked to fulfill His purposes. This theme is echoed in other scriptures, such as <a href="/1_samuel/16.htm">1 Samuel 16</a>, where God instructs Samuel to anoint David, emphasizing that God looks at the heart rather than outward appearances. David's life and reign are central to the narrative of Israel, and he is a type of Christ, foreshadowing the coming Messiah who would be a descendant of David and establish an eternal kingdom. David's story is a testament to God's sovereignty and His ability to use humble beginnings for His glory.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/o/ozem.htm">Ozem</a></b><br>Ozem is listed as the sixth son of Jesse.
