Ruth 4:13-22 - The Lineage Of King David

¹³ And Boaz taketh Ruth, and she becometh his wife, and he goeth in unto her, and Jehovah giveth to her conception, and she beareth a son. ¹⁴ And the women say unto Naomi, 'Blessed is Jehovah who hath not let a redeemer cease to thee to-day, and his name is proclaimed in Israel, ¹⁵ and he hath been to thee for a restorer of life, and for a nourisher of thine old age, for thy daughter-in-law who hath loved thee -- who is better to thee than seven sons -- hath borne him.' ¹⁶ And Naomi taketh the lad, and layeth him in her bosom, and is to him for a nurse; ¹⁷ and the neighbouring women give to him a name, saying, 'There hath been a son born to Naomi,' and they call his name Obed; he is father of Jesse, father of David. ¹⁸ And these are genealogies of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron, ¹⁹ and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminidab, ²⁰ and Amminidab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon, ²¹ and Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed, ²² and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
