B. THE HAPPY MARRIAGE

So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and she bare a son.

And the women said unto Naomi, "Blessed be the Lord, who hath not left

thee this day without a near kinsman; and let his name be famous in

Israel. And he shall be unto thee a restorer of life, and a nourisher of

thine old age; for thy daughter-in-law, who loveth thee, who is better

to thee than seven sons, hath borne him."

And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse

unto it.

And the women her neighbors 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.
