¹³ And so Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife. And he went in unto her, and the LORD gave that she conceived and bare a son. ¹⁴ And the women said unto Naomi, "Blessed be the LORD, the which hath not left thee without a heir this day that shall have a name in Israel, ¹⁵ and that shall bring thy life again and cherish thine old age. For thy daughter-in-law which loveth thee hath borne him that is better to thee than seven sons." ¹⁶ And Naomi took the child and laid it in her lap, and became nurse unto it. ¹⁷ And her neighbours gave it a name saying, "There is a child borne to Naomi, and called it Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David. ¹⁸ This is the generation of Perez: Perez begat Hezron, ¹⁹ Hezron begat Ram, Ram begat Amminadab, ²⁰ Amminadab begat Nahshon, Nahshon begat Salmon, ²¹ Salmon begat Boaz, Boaz begat Obed, ²² Obed begat Jesse, Jesse begat David.
