So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife. And he went in to her, and the Lord enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son.

Naomi took the child and placed him on her lap; she became his caregiver.

The neighbor women named him, saying, "A son has been born to Naomi." They named him Obed. Now he became the father of Jesse -- David's father!

Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron;

And Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab;

And Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon;

And Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed;

And Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
