In context

2The man’s name was Elimelech, his wife’s name was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah, and they entered the land of Moab and settled there.

3Then Naomi’s husband Elimelech died, and she was left with her two sons,

4Who took Moabite women as their wives, one named Orpah and the other named Ruth. And after they had lived in Moab about ten years,

5Both Mahlon and Chilion also died, and Naomi was left without her two sons and without her husband.

6When Naomi heard in Moab that the LORD had attended to His people by providing them with food, she and her daughters-in-law prepared to leave the land of Moab.
