Contextual Overview

¹³ So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he went in unto her, - and Yahweh granted her conception, and she bare a son. ¹⁴ Then said the women unto Naomi, Blessed, be Yahweh! who hath not let thee fail of a kinsman to-day, - and may his name, be proclaimed, in Israel; ¹⁵ So shall he become a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age, - for, thy daughter-in-law who loveth thee, hath borne him, even, she, who is better to thee than seven sons. ¹⁶ So Naomi took the boy, and laid him in her bosom, and she became his nurse. ¹⁷ And the women, her neighbours, gave him a name, saying, There is born a son to Naomi, - So they called his name Obed, he, was, the father of Jesse, the father of David. ¹⁸ These, then, are the generations of Perez: Perez, begat, Hezron; ¹⁹ And, Hezron, begat, Ram, and, Ram, begat, Amminadab; ²⁰ And, Amminadab, begat Nahshon, and, Nahshon, begat, Salmon, ²¹ And, Salmon, begat, Boaz, and, Boaz, begat, Obed; ²² And, Obed, begat, Jesse, and, Jesse, begat, David.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Salmon begat Boaz,.... Of Rahab the harlot, whom he married, Matthew 1:5 the very same person that makes a principal part of this book, and whom the Targum here takes to be the judge Ibzan,

Matthew 1:5- :.

and Boaz begat Obed; of Ruth; of whom see the preceding verses.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Salmon begat Boaz - Matthew has preserved the additional interesting information that the mother of Boaz was Rahab Joshua 2:0; Joshua 6:0. It is possible that the circumstance that the mother of Boaz was a Canaanite may have made him less indisposed to marry Ruth the Moabitess. As regards the whole genealogy in Ruth 4:18-22, it should be remarked that it occurs four times in Scripture, namely, here, 1 Chronicles 2:10-12; Matthew 1:3-6; and Luke 3:32-33, and is of course of singular importance as being the genealogy of our Lord. One or two difficulties in it still remain unsolved.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ruth 4:21. And Salmon begat Boaz — The Targum goes on, "And Salmon begat Absan the judge; he is Boaz the Just, on account of whose righteousness the people of the house of Israel were redeemed from the hands of their enemies; and at whose supplication the famine departed from the land of Israel."

And Boaz begat Obed — "Who served the Lord in this world with a perfect heart."
