Best Answer

We know very little of Kilion (Ruth's husband) from the narrative and certainly not enough to know if he and Boaz were close friends. However, since Boaz was very familiar with Naomi, Kilion's father, it stands to reason that they were probably friendly, but there is no certainty in this.
