1 In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land. And a certain man from Bethlehem (house of bread) in Judah (praised), with his wife and two sons, went to reside in the land of Moab (of his father). 2 The man’s name was Elimelech (my God is king), his wife’s name was Naomi (my delight), and the names of his two sons were Mahlon (sick) and Chilion (pining). They were Ephrathites (fruitfulness) from Bethlehem (house of bread) in Judah (praised), and they entered the land of Moab (of his father) and settled there. Ruth 1:1-2, Berean Annotated Bible.
