“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.” - Ruth 4v17
Boaz and Ruth are a wonderful blessed couple. They have so many character traits that are good and honourable. They both had a focus on the Lord and a compassion for others. They both had wonderful testimonies before the community. They both went “above and beyond the call of duty” in their dealings.
God blessed them and gave them a family after they were married. Their first-born son was called Obed. Obed had a son named Jesse, and Jesse had a son named David. David was referred to by God as a “man after mine own heart.”
It appears that after Boaz and Ruth had a family God was still important to them. They passed on their godly heritage to their family to the point where God decided to use the family of their grandson to produce the king of Israel.
