08:004:011 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:
08:004:012 And let thy house be like the house of
Pharez, whom Tamar bare
unto
Judah, of the seed which the lord shall give thee
of this
young
woman.
08:004:013 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.
08:004:014 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.
08:004:015 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.
08:004:016 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in
her bosom, and became
nurse
unto it.
08:004:017 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.
08:004:018 Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
08:004:019 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
08:004:020 And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
08:004:021 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
08:004:022 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
Book 09 1 Samuel
09:001:001 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim,
of mount
Ephraim,
and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son
of
Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:
09:001:002 And he had two wives; the name of the one
was Hannah, and the
name
of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children,
but
Hannah
had no children.
09:001:003 And this man went up out of his city yearly
to worship and to
sacrifice
unto the lord of hosts in Shiloh. And the
two sons
of
Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the lord,
were
there.
09:001:004 And when the time was that Elkanah offered,
he gave to
Peninnah
his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters,
portions:
09:001:005 But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion;
for he loved Hannah:
but
the lord had shut up her womb.
09:001:006 And her adversary also provoked her sore,
for to make her
fret,
because the lord had shut up her womb.
