SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:18–22: A list of David’s ancestors

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.

4:20a

Amminadab was the father of Nahshon,

Amminadab was the father of Nahshon.
Amminadab fathered Nahshon. (ESV)
Nahshon was the son of Amminadab.

4:20b

Nahshon was the father of Salmon,

Nahshon was the father of Salmon.
Nahshon fathered Salmon. (ESV)
Salmon was the son of Nahshon.

4:20

Amminadab was the father of Nahshon: Nahshon was an important person who lived at the time of Moses. He was the tribal chief for the tribe of Judah (Numbers 1:7, 2:3). When the leaders of Israel dedicated the tabernacle, he was the first one to offer an offering (Numbers 7:12).

Nahshon was the father of Salmon: Scholars know little about Salmon. His name is spelled differently in 1 Chronicles 2.11, but the two spellings are probably just variations of the same name.

The Setting of Ruth

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).
