Obed was the son of Boaz and Ruth, born after their marriage in Bethlehem. He became the father of Jesse, and through Jesse the grandfather of King David. His birth restored continuity to the line of Judah after the difficult events of the famine and Naomi's loss, making him a crucial figure in the lineage leading to Jesus.
