And they die also, both of them -- Mahlon and Chilion -- and the woman is left of her two children and of her husband.

And the name of the man is Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites from Beth-Lehem-Judah; and they come into the fields of Moab, and are there.
