Ruth 1:3
Elimelech died, and Naomi was left with her two sons,
Ruth 1:4
who married Moabite women named Orpah and Ruth. After they had lived there about ten years,
Ruth 1:5
Mahlon and Chilion both died, and Naomi was left alone, without husband or sons.
Ruth 1:6
So she set out with her daughters-in-law to return from the land of Moab, for she had heard that the Lord had remembered his people and given them food.
