4:13 Boaz’ descendants
13 So Boaz married Ruth, and when he slept with her, Yahweh enabled her to become pregnant and she gave birth to a son. 14 The women in Beyt-Lehem (Bethlehem) said to No’omi (Naomi), “Praise Yahweh for giving you a male descendant to preserve your family today. We pray to Yahweh that people throughout Yisrael (Israel) will greatly respect him. 15 ⇔Your daughter-in-law, who loves you and who’s been better to you than if you had seven sons, has given birth to him. Now he’ll make you feel young again and he’ll take care of you when you get old.” 16 Then No’omi picked up the baby and held him closely and became like second mother to him.
17 The women who were living nearby said, “It is as if No’omi now has a son!” They named him Oved.
Eventually Oved went on to become the father of Yishay (Jesse), who became the father of King David.[ref] 18 Here is a list of the descendants of Perets: Perets’s son was Hetsron. 19 Hetsron’s son was Ram and Ram’s son was Aminadav. 20 Aminadav’s son was Nahshon and Nahshon’s son was Salmon. 21 Salmon’s son was Boaz and Boaz’s son was Oved. 22 Oved’s son was Yishay and Yishay’s son was King David.
Ruth 1-4
The story of Ruth is set in the time of the Judges, a few generations before the birth of King David. While much animosity often existed between Israel and Moab (Judges 3:12-30; 10:6-12:7; 2 Samuel 8:2; 10; 2 Kings 3:4-27; 2 Chronicles 20; see also Nations across the Jordan River map), other times the two nations appear to have enjoyed a somewhat congenial relationship, as is demonstrated by Naomi’s willingness to relocate to Moab to seek relief from a famine. Later Naomi’s sons also marry Moabite women, and Ruth’s devotion to Naomi and her God no doubt speaks highly of the character of many Moabites. Many years later Ruth’s great-grandson David placed his parents in the care of the king of Moab while he was on the run from King Saul (1 Samuel 22:3-4).
