13 So Boaz married Ruth. The Lord allowed Ruth to become pregnant, and she had a son.
14 The women there said to Naomi, “Praise the Lord who gave you this child. May he become famous in Israel.
15 He will make you alive again and care for you in your old age. Your daughter-in-law made it happen because she bore this child for you. She loves you, and she is better for you than seven sons.”
16 Naomi took the boy, held him in her arms, and cared for him.
17 The neighbors gave the boy his name. These women said, “Naomi has a son now!” They named him Obed. Obed was the father of Jesse, and Jesse was the father of David.
18 This is the family history of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron.
19 Hezron was the father of Ram. Ram was the father of Amminadab.
