Thematic Bible: Naomi, of her husband


Thematic Bible



Then Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, died; and she was left with her two sons.

Then both Mahlon and Chilion also died, and the woman was bereft of her two children and her husband.

She said to them, "Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. "I went out full, but the LORD has brought me back empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the LORD has witnessed against me and the Almighty has afflicted me?"
