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

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.

¶ Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,

And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,^*

And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,

And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
