This section contains a list of the family line from Perez through Obed to King David. Five names represent all the generations from Perez, the son of Judah, to Nahshon, who lived at the time of Moses, about four hundred years after Perez. The names of the next five generations represent all the generations from Nahshon to David, who lived about 450 years later. Clearly, many names have been left out of the list.
Here are some other possible headings for this section:
The ancestors of David
Obed in the Genealogy of David (NET)
The list of the ancestors of King David
The names in this listing agree with the lists in 1 Chronicles chapter 2, Matthew chapter 1, and Luke chapter 3. If you have already translated any of these books, refer to the way you transliterated the names there.
Hezron was the father of Ram,
Hezron was the father of Ram.
Hezron fathered Ram. (ESV)
Ram was the son of Hezron.
Ram was the father of Amminadab,
Ram was the father of Amminadab.
Ram fathered Amminadab. (ESV)
Amminadab was the son of Ram.
Hezron was the father of Ram: From 1 Chronicles 2:9, it appears that Ram was the second son of Hezron. Nothing else is known about him other than what is mentioned in this verse.
Ram was the father of Amminadab: Aaron, Moses’ brother, had married one of Amminadab’s daughters, according to Exodus 6:23.
Hezron was closely related to Perez, and Amminadab lived at about the same time as Aaron and Moses, who lived many years later. So it is likely that in this first group of five names, some generation names were left out between Hezron and Ram, and/or between Ram and Amminadab.

Hezron, Ram, and Amminidab are the names of men. Use forms of these names that are natural in your language.
4:18-22 The book of Ruth ends with a genealogy of ten generations, from Perez, the son of Judah (Jacob’s son), to David, the grandson of Obed. Besides being one of the world’s great stories, this tale concerns the family history of David, Israel’s greatest king. That Ruth and Boaz were ancestors of Israel’s greatest king is a major reason for the inclusion of this small book in the Old Testament.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
