Ruth 4:13-17 (NRSV)
13So
Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. When they came together, the LORD
made her conceive, and she bore a son. 14Then the women said to
Naomi, "Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without next-of-kin;
and may his name be renowned in Israel! 15He shall be to you a
restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age; for your daughter-in-law
who loves you, who is more to you than seven sons, has borne him." 16Then
Naomi took the child and laid him in her bosom, and became his nurse. 17The
women of the neighborhood gave him a name, saying, "A son has been born
to Naomi." They named him Obed; he became the father of Jesse, the father
of David.
