Then Naomi&#8217;s two sons, Mahlon and Kilion, also died.<n id="1" /> So the woman was left all alone &#8211; bereaved of her two children<n id="2" /> as well as her husband!

(Now the man&#8217;s name was Elimelech,<n id="1" /> his wife was Naomi,<n id="2" /> and his two sons were Mahlon and Kilion.<n id="3" /> They were of the clan of Ephrath<n id="4" /> from Bethlehem in Judah.) They entered the region of Moab and settled there.<n id="5" />

I have also acquired Ruth the Moabite, the wife of Mahlon, as my wife to raise up a descendant who will inherit his property<n id="1" /> so the name of the deceased might not disappear<n id="2" /> from among his relatives and from his village.<n id="3" /> You are witnesses today.&#8221;
