Obed's Birth and David's Lineage

Ruth 4:13-22

4
Chapter 4
13 And Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife. And he came to her, and the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son. 14 And the women said to Naomi, "Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you without a redeemer today, and may his name be renowned in Israel." 15 He will be to you a restorer of nephesh and a sustainer of your old age, for your daughter-in-law, whom you loved, has borne him, who is better to you than seven sons. 16 And Naomi took the child and laid him in her bosom and became a nurse to him. 17 And the neighboring women gave him a name, saying, "A son has been born to Naomi." And they called his name Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David. 18 These are the generations of Perez. Perez fathered Hezron. 19 Hezron fathered Ram, and Ram fathered Amminadab. 20 Amminadab fathered Nahshon, and Nahshon fathered Salmon. 21 Solomon fathered Boaz, and Boaz fathered Obed. 22 Obed fathered Jesse, and Jesse fathered David.
