Ruth 4:13-22
13So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he went in to her. And 1the Lord 2enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son. 14Then the 3women said to Naomi, “Blessed is the Lord who has not left you without a 4redeemer today, and may his name 5become famous in Israel. 15May he also be to you a restorer of life and a sustainer of your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you 67and is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him.” 16Then Naomi took the child 8and laid him in her lap, and became his nurse. 17The neighbor women gave him a name, saying, “A son has been born to Naomi!” So they named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
18Now these are the generations of Perez: 9to Perez 10was born Hezron, 19and to Hezron was born Ram, and to Ram, Amminadab, 20and to Amminadab was born Nahshon, and to Nahshon, Salmon, 21and to Salmon was born Boaz, and to Boaz, Obed, 22and to Obed was born Jesse, and to Jesse, David.
