Boaz
The name Boaz is of Hebrew origin, meaning "swift" or "strength." Boaz is a significant figure in the lineage of David and ultimately Jesus Christ, as outlined in the genealogy presented in the Book of Ruth and reiterated here in 1 Chronicles. Boaz is known for his role as the kinsman-redeemer, a concept deeply rooted in Hebrew law and tradition, which allowed a close relative to redeem a family member in distress. His marriage to Ruth, a Moabite woman, exemplifies God's inclusive plan of salvation, extending beyond Israel to all nations. Boaz's character is marked by integrity, kindness, and obedience to God's law, serving as a model of godly manhood.

was the father of Obed
The phrase "was the father of" indicates a direct paternal lineage, emphasizing the importance of family heritage in the biblical narrative. Obed, whose name means "servant" or "worshiper," is the son of Boaz and Ruth. His birth is a testament to God's providence and faithfulness, as it not only continues the family line but also fulfills God's promises to His people. Obed's life, though not extensively detailed in Scripture, is crucial as he becomes the grandfather of King David, linking the account of Ruth and Boaz to the Davidic line and ultimately to the Messiah.

and Obed was the father of Jesse
This continuation of the genealogical record highlights the significance of Jesse, who is the father of David, Israel's greatest king. Jesse's name means "gift" or "God exists," reflecting the divine purpose and blessing inherent in this family line. The mention of Jesse here serves as a bridge between the judges' period and the establishment of the monarchy in Israel. It underscores the divine orchestration of history, where God raises leaders according to His sovereign will. Jesse's role as the father of David places him in a pivotal position within the biblical narrative, as David's reign is a foreshadowing of the eternal kingship of Christ.
