Ruth 4:13-17

13So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and when he went in to her, the Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son.

14Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you this day without a close relative; and may his name be famous in Israel!

15And may he be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him.”

16Then Naomi took the child and laid him on her bosom, and became a nurse to him.

17Also the neighbor women gave him a name, saying, “There is a son born to Naomi.” And they called his name Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
