Ruth is the beautiful story of a Moabite girl who marries a Hebrew, and eventually adopts the faith of her husband. When he dies, she returns to Bethlehem with her mother-in-law, and in time remarries a relative of her late husband. This marriage produces a son named Obed, who was the great-grandfather of King David and a direct ancestor of Jesus.
