Ruth 4:11-17

[11] And all the people  that were in the gate,  and the elders,  said,  We are witnesses.  The LORD  make  the woman  that is come  into thine house  like Rachel  and like Leah,  which two  did build  the house  of Israel:  and do  thou worthily  in Ephratah,  and be famous  in Bethlehem:  [12] And let thy house  of Pharez,  whom Tamar  bare  unto Judah,  of the seed  which the LORD  shall give  thee of this young woman.  [13] So Boaz  took  Ruth,  and she was his wife:  and when he went in  unto her, the LORD  gave  her conception,  and she bare  a son.  [14] And the women  said  unto Naomi,  Blessed  be the LORD,  which hath not left  thee this day  without a kinsman,  that his name  may be famous  in Israel.  [15] And he shall be unto thee a restorer  of thy life,  and a nourisher  of thine old age:  for thy daughter in law,  which loveth  thee, which is better  to thee than seven  sons,  hath born  him. [16] And Naomi  took  the child,  and laid  it in her bosom,  and became nurse  unto it. [17] And the women her neighbours  gave  it a name,  saying,  There is a son  born  to Naomi;  and they called  his name  Obed:  he is the father  of Jesse,  the father  of David.
