Ru:4:12: And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman.
Ru:4:13: So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.
Ru:4:14: And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.
Ru:4:15: And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him.
Ru:4:16: And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.
Ru:4:17: 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.
Ru:4:18: Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
Ru:4:19: And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
Ru:4:20: And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
Ru:4:21: And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
Ru:4:22: And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.

Chapter 1
1Sa:1:1: Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:
1Sa:1:2: And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
1Sa:1:3: And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there.
1Sa:1:4: And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:
1Sa:1:5: But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb.
1Sa:1:6: And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
1Sa:1:7: And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.
1Sa:1:8: Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons?
1Sa:1:9: So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD.
1Sa:1:10: And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.
1Sa:1:11: And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.
1Sa:1:12: And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth.
1Sa:1:13: Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.
