1 Now it came to pass, in the days when ^athe judges ruled, that there was ^ba famine in the land. And a certain man of ^cBethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the country of ^dMoab, he and his wife and his two sons.

2 The name of the man was Elimelech, the name of his wife was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion—^aEphrathites of Bethlehem, Judah. And they went ^bto the country of Moab and remained there.

3 Then Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons.
