Ruth 1:1-5

1Now it came about in the days 1when the judges 2governed, that there was 3a famine in the land. And a man 4of Bethlehem in Judah went to reside in the land of Moab 5with his wife and his two sons. 2The name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife, Naomi; and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem in Judah. So they 6entered the land of Moab and remained there. 3Then Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, died; and she was left with her two sons. 4And they took for themselves Moabite women as wives; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other, Ruth. And they lived there about ten years. 5Then 7both Mahlon and Chilion also died, and the woman was left without her two sons and her husband.
