James, father of David? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jesse

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
