Ruth 4:12-22

New King James Version

¹² May your house be like the house of ^(A)Perez, ^(B)whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of ^(C)the offspring which the Lord will give you from this young woman.”

Descendants of Boaz and Ruth^(D)

¹³ So Boaz ^(E)took Ruth and she became his wife; and when he went in to her, ^(F)the Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son. ¹⁴ Then ^(G)the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you this day without a ^[a]close relative; and may his name be famous in Israel! ¹⁵ And may he be to you a restorer of life and a ^[b]nourisher of your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is ^(H)better to you than seven sons, has borne him.” ¹⁶ Then Naomi took the child and laid him on her bosom, and became a nurse to him. ^17 (I)Also the neighbor women gave him a name, saying, “There is a son born to Naomi.” And they called his name Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

^18 (J)Now this is the genealogy of Perez: ^(K)Perez begot Hezron; ¹⁹ Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminadab; ²⁰ Amminadab begot ^(L)Nahshon, and Nahshon begot ^(M)Salmon;^{[c] 21} Salmon begot Boaz, and Boaz begot Obed; ²² Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot ^(N)David.
