"The town is described in this story as the "House of Bread" (in Arabic, the name means "House of Meat").[7] The two women arrived in time for the harvest, and Ruth started working in the barley fields surrounding Bethlehem. There she met a man named Boaz, who first helped her acquire land in the town and later had a child with her.[8] This child, Obed, was the father of Jesse, the father of David who was born in Bethlehem and who would later become the second King of Israel.[9] David was anointed king by the prophet Samuel in Bethlehem."
