The meaning of Mahlon in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)

ma'-lon (machlon, "invalid"): Ruth's first husband (Ruth 1:2, Ruth 1:5; Ruth 4:9-10). In the latter passage is further evidence of the unwillingness to allow a family connection or inheritance to drop (see MAHLAH; MAHLI).
