when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land, and a man from
Bethlehem in Judah, together with his wife and two sons, went to live for a
while in the country of Moab."

Death
"Now
Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died, and she was left with her two sons. They
married Moabite women, one named Orpah and the other Ruth. After they had
lived there about ten years, both Mahlon and Kilion also died, and Naomi was
left without her two sons and her husband."
(Ruth 1:3-5) |
