Ruth 4:13-22

13So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife. And he went in to her, and the Lord enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son.

14Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed is the Lord who has not left you without a redeemer (grandson, as heir) today, and may his name become famous in Israel.

15May he also be to you one who restores life and sustains your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him.”

16Then Naomi took the child and placed him in her lap, and she became his nurse.

17The neighbor women gave him a name, saying, “A son (grandson) has been born to Naomi.” They named him Obed (worshiper). He is the father of Jesse, the father of David [the ancestor of Jesus Christ].

18Now these are the descendants of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron,

19Hezron was the father of Ram, Ram the father of Amminadab,

20Amminadab the father of Nahshon, Nahshon the father of Salmon,

21Salmon the father of Boaz, Boaz the father of Obed,

22Obed the father of Jesse, and Jesse the father of David [the king of Israel and the ancestor of Jesus Christ].
