NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ The women said to Naomi: »A blessing on Jehovah. He has not let you be without a near relative. May his name be great in Israel. ¹⁵ »He will be a giver of new life to you. He will be your comforter when you are old, because your daughter-in-law, who in her love for you is better than seven sons, has given birth to him.« ¹⁶ Naomi took the child in her arms and took care of it. ¹⁷ Her neighbor women gave it a name. They said: »Naomi has a child.« They gave him the name of Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
