Ruth and Naomi Surviving trials
with love and loyalty
Naomi and her family moved to Moab
because there was not enough food in the land of Judah.
Then Naomi’s husband died.
Naomi’s sons married women from
Moab named Orpah and Ruth.
They took care of Naomi for 10
years.
Then Orpah’s and Ruth’s husbands
died.
Now the women were alone.
Naomi could not provide food for
Ruth and Orpah.
Orpah returned home.
But Ruth wanted to stay and take
care of Naomi.
Ruth and Naomi heard the land of
Judah had crops again, so they traveled there.
Ruth and Naomi arrived in Judah
during the harvest.
They needed food.
Naomi’s relative named Boaz owned
fields in Judah.
He let Ruth take the leftover
grain in his fields.
It was hard work.
Boaz respected Ruth because she
worked hard and because she was loyal to Naomi and the Lord.
He told the servants to leave more
grain in the fields for Ruth.
Naomi wanted Ruth to have a
family.
She encouraged Ruth to marry Boaz.
Ruth knew that if she and Boaz got
married, they could take care of Naomi together.
Ruth decided to ask Boaz to marry
her.
Boaz knew Ruth was a loyal and
virtuous woman.
He agreed.
Ruth and Boaz got married.
Soon Ruth had a baby boy.
He became the grandfather of
David, the future king.
Many years later, Jesus Christ was
born into this family line.
