Naomi and Ruth
Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee? And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor. Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking. And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do. And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.-Ruth 3:1-5***Judah was the 4th son born to Jacob (Israel) and his 1st wife Leah. Er, Onan and Shelah were born to Judah and his wife, a Canaanite woman. Judah arranged a marriage between Er and Tamar. After Er was wicked and struck dead by the Lord God, Judah told Onan to marry Tamar and produce an heir for Er. After Onan was wicked and the Lord God killed Onan, Judah led Tamar to believe that Shelah would be her husband. When Tamar realized such a marriage was not going to occur, she succeeded with a different motherhood plan. Over 700 years after twin sons Pharez and Zarah (Perez and Zerah) were born to Judah and Tamar, Mahlon and Chilion were born to Elimelech and Naomi. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that after Elimelech died, Mahlon married Ruth, Chilion married Orpah, and Mahlon and Chilion died. Naomi had no other sons and would have no other sons for Ruth to marry. After Ruth spoke to Naomi about working in the field of Naomi's wealthy relative Boaz, a descendant of Pharez and relative of Elimelech, Ruth was noticed by Boaz and became Boaz's wife. Obed was born to Boaz and Ruth, and Jesse was born to Obed, and David was the 8th son born to Jesse. Over a decade after David was born, Samuel, the priest, prophet and judge from the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi, anointed David to reign as king, according to the command of the Lord God. When David was 30 years old, he began to reign only over the tribe of Judah in the Promised Land. When David was 37 years old, he became the 2nd king to rule over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Jacob, and to Jacob's father Isaac, and to Isaac's father Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to their descendants. Over 900 years after Solomon, the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba, became the 3rd king to rule over all of the Israelites, and 70-year-old David died, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Leviticus 25:25, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 25:5-10, 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings 1:1-11:43, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-4:23, 6:1-81, 2 Chronicles 1:1-9:31, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

King Ahasuerus
Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women;) Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house.-Esther 2:12-13***After Queen Vashti disobeyed her husband King Ahasuerus (Xerxes), ruler of the Persian Empire, and refused to come and stand before him and his guests, Ahasuerus followed advice, and the loveliest young virgins throughout the 127 provinces of his kingdom were brought to Shushan in order to crown a new queen. Ahasuerus chose and married Esther, an Israelite (Hebrew/Jew), a descendant of Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, and Isaac and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel). Over 400 years after Esther and Mordecai, her cousin and guardian, helped save the lives of the Israelites throughout the kingdom, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 8:1-40, Esther, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
