Boaz Marries Ruth
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife. And when he had relations with her, the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son.
14 Then the women said to Naomi, "Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a kinsman-redeemer. May his name become famous in Israel. 15 He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. For your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given him birth."
16 And Naomi took the child, placed him on her lap, and became a nurse to him. 17 The neighbor women said, "A son has been born to Naomi," and they named him Obed. He became the father of Jesse, the father of David.
