Ruth 1:1-5 - Elimelech Takes His Family To Live In Moab
1 And it happened in the days [when] {the judges ruled}, there was a famine in the land, and a man from Bethlehem [of] Judah went {to reside} in the countryside of Moab--he and his wife and his two sons. 2 And the name of the man [was] Elimelech, and the name of his wife [was] Naomi, and the name of his two sons [were] Mahlon and Kilion. [They were] Ephraimites from Bethlehem [in] Judah. And they went [to] the countryside of Moab and remained there. 3 But Elimelech the husband of Naomi died and she was left behind [with] {her two sons}. 4 And {they took} for themselves Moabite wives. The name of the one [was] Orpah and the name of the other [was] Ruth. And they lived there about ten years. 5 But {both} Mahlon and Kilion died, and the woman was left without her two sons and without her husband.
