'Husband' in the Bible
Then Naomi's husband Elimelech died, and she was left with her two sons.
both Mahlon and Chilion died, leaving Naomi alone with neither her husband nor her two sons.
So go on back, my daughters! Be on your way! I'm too old to remarry. If I were to say that I'm hoping for a husband tonight and then also bore sons this very night,
Naomi had a close relative of her late husband, a man of considerable wealth from the family of Elimelech. His name was Boaz.
Boaz answered her, "It has been clearly disclosed to me all that you have done for your mother-in-law following the death of your husband how you abandoned your father, your mother, and your own land, and came to a people you did not previously know.
Boaz continued, "On the very day you buy the field from Naomi, you're also "buying" Ruth the Moabite woman, the wife of her dead husband, so the family name may be continued as an inheritance."
