Ruth 4:13-22

13Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. He slept with her, and the Lord granted conception to her, and she gave birth to a son.

14The women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you without a family redeemer today. May his name become well known in Israel.

15He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. Indeed, your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him.”

16Naomi took the child, placed him on her lap, and became a mother to him.

17The neighbor women said, “A son has been born to Naomi,” and they named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David.

18Now these are the family records of Perez: Perez fathered Hezron,

19Hezron fathered Ram, Ram fathered Amminadab,

20Amminadab fathered Nahshon, Nahshon fathered Salmon,

21Salmon fathered Boaz, Boaz fathered Obed,

22Obed fathered Jesse, and Jesse fathered David.
