13 So Boaz took Ruth to be his wife, and when he had marital relations with her, the LORD made her conceive, and she bore a son. 14 Then the women of Bethlehem told Naomi, |May the LORD be blessed, who has not left you today without a related redeemer. May his name become famous throughout Israel! 15 And he will restore your life for you and will support you in your old age, because your daughter-in-law, who loves you and who has borne him, is better for you than seven sons!| 16 Naomi took care of the child, taking him to her breast and becoming his nurse. 17 So her women neighbors gave the child a nickname, which is |Naomi has a son!| They named him Obed. He became the father of Jesse, who was the father of David. Ruth 4:13-17, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
