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.
Obed was the father of Jesse,
Obed was the father of Jesse,
Obed fathered Jesse, (ESV)
Jesse was the son of Obed,
and Jesse was the father of David.
and Jesse was the father of David.
and Jesse fathered David. (ESV)
and King David was the son of Jesse.
Obed was the father of Jesse: Jesse is mentioned quite a few times in the Scriptures, primarily in connection with his famous son, David.
and Jesse was the father of David: The book of Ruth ends with the name of David. He was Israel’s most famous king and an ancestor of the Lord Jesus Christ. If your readers do not know that David was a king of Israel, it may be helpful to supply that information, either in the text or a footnote. Then your readers will understand why this genealogy is important and how Ruth was part of it.
Jesse’s son was the father of King David. (T4T)
King David was Jesse’s son.

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.
