James, father of David? (5)
I believe the answer is:
jesse
This could be a double definition.
'james father' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'david?' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for jesse that I've seen before include "Father of King David" , "David's father" , "--- James, outlaw; type of church window" .)
