13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son. 14 The women said to Naomi, |Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a redeemer; and let his name be famous in Israel. 15 He shall be to you a restorer of life, and sustain you in your old age, for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him.| 16 Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and looked after him. 17 The women, her neighbors, gave him a name, saying, |There is a son born to Naomi.| And they named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David. Ruth 4:13-17, New Heart English Bible. Public domain.
