10 And also Ruth the Moʹab·i·tess, the wife of Mahʹlon, I do buy for myself as a wife to cause the name of the dead man+ to rise upon his inheritance and that the name of the dead man may not be cut off from among his brothers and from the gate of his place. YOU are witnesses today.”+

17 Then the neighbor+ ladies gave it a name, saying: “A son has been born to Naʹo·mi.” And they began to call his name Oʹbed.*+ He is the father of Jesʹse,+ David’s father.

47 And Saul himself took the kingship over Israel+ and went warring round about against all his enemies, against Moʹab+ and against the sons of Amʹmon+ and against Eʹdom+ and against the kings of Zoʹbah+ and against the Phi·lisʹtines;+ and wherever he would turn he administered condemnation.*+

33 At that Saul went hurling the spear at him to strike him;+ and Jonʹa·than came to know that it had been determined upon by his father to put David to death.+
