Ruth 4:13-17
New American Standard Bible
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he had relations with her. And (A)the Lord [a]enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son. 14 Then the (B)women said to Naomi, “Blessed is the Lord who has not left you without a redeemer today, and may his name [b]become famous in Israel. 15 May he also be to you one who restores life and sustains your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you [c](C)and is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him.”
The Line of David
16 Then Naomi took the child and [d]laid him in her lap, and became his nurse. 17 And the neighbor women gave him a name, saying, “A son has been born to Naomi!” So they named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
