Ruth 4:19
17 The neighbor women said, “A son has been born to Naomi,” and they named him Obed. He became the father of Jesse, the father of David.
18 Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron,
Hezron was the father of Ram, Ram was the father of Amminadab,
20 Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, Nahshon was the father of Salmon,
21 Salmon was the father of Boaz, Boaz was the father of Obed,
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
