דברי הימים א, פרק ב׳, פסוק י״ב

Tracing a family lineage often connects a simple list of names to well-known historical events recorded elsewhere in scripture. The progression of this specific family tree ties directly into a familiar story.

The birth of Obed to Boaz points back to the detailed events found in the Book of Ruth. From this union, the dynasty simply continues its forward march, tracing the ongoing line as Obed becomes the father of Jesse.
