Ruth 4:13-22
13Then Boaz took Ruth home, and she became his wife. He slept with her, and the Lord gave her the ability to become pregnant. So she gave birth to a son.
14The women said to Naomi, “Praise the Lord, who has remembered today to give you someone who will take care of you. The child’s name will be famous in Israel.
15He will bring you a new life and support you in your old age. Your daughter-in-law who loves you is better to you than seven sons, because she has given birth.”
16Naomi took the child, held him on her lap, and became his guardian.
17The women in the neighborhood said, “Naomi has a son.” So they gave him the name Obed. He became the father of Jesse, who was the father of David.
18This is the account of Perez and his family. Perez was the father of Hezron.
19Hezron was the father of Ram. Ram was the father of Amminadab.
20Amminadab was the father of Nahshon. Nahshon was the father of Salmon.
21Salmon was the father of Boaz. Boaz was the father of Obed.
22Obed was the father of Jesse. Jesse was the father of David.
