Boaz was Maomi s son on law.
Naomi's son in the Bible was married to Ruth, a Moabite woman. After her son's death, Ruth chose to stay with Naomi and accompany her back to Bethlehem. Ruth later remarried Boaz and became the great-grandmother of King David.
Ruth 3:7 And after Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was cheerful, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain; and she came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay down. This may seem very irregular to us in our culture, but actually it was the accepted practice in that day and there was nothing evil or suggestive about it.
Naomis husbands name was Elmelech.
The Bible does not say, but because this marriage of Ruth and Boaz was blessed by God and their grandson David was a man after God's own heart, I think it can be safely assumed that Boaz died at a ripe old age.
To redeem the land and marry Ruth all Boaz had to do was to buy the land, as Ruth was part of the package deal. Because the land was an inheritance which belonged to her husband and his wife and family, since he was dead and there were no children his wife Ruth was the rightful heir.
Ruth had only two husbands , one was Naomis son and the second was Boaz.
Before Boaz can marry Ruth, he must first settle the matter of a closer relative who has the right of redemption. According to the Levirate law, this relative has the first option to marry Ruth and redeem her deceased husband's land. Boaz approaches this relative to discuss the situation and ensure the proper legal and familial obligations are fulfilled before proceeding with the marriage. Only after this matter is resolved can Boaz lawfully marry Ruth.
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.
Boaz had to marry Ruth primarily due to the Levirate marriage custom in ancient Israel, which required a close relative to marry the widow of a deceased family member to preserve the family line. Ruth was the widow of Boaz's relative, Mahlon, and by marrying her, Boaz ensured that Mahlon's lineage would continue. Additionally, Boaz was motivated by his admiration for Ruth's loyalty and character, as she had committed herself to care for her mother-in-law, Naomi. This union ultimately led to the birth of Obed, the grandfather of King David, linking Ruth to the lineage of Jesus.

Ruth's first husband was Mahlon, son of Naomi. After he died, Ruth came to Israel and married his relative, Boaz .
Naomi's son in the Bible was married to Ruth, a Moabite woman. After her son's death, Ruth chose to stay with Naomi and accompany her back to Bethlehem. Ruth later remarried Boaz and became the great-grandmother of King David.
Ruth's first husband was Mahlon, son of Naomi. After he died, Ruth came to Israel and married his relative, Boaz .
She started by gleaning in his field, to feed her family (Naomi)(Ruth 2:2 - Ruth 3:11). Boaz heard from others what a fine woman she was, hardworking and kind, and she spoke with Boaz about her situation and finally slept at his feet one evening(Ruth 3:14-15) after finding out that he was a distant relative of Naomi's and a 'repurchaser'. Basically her attitude and fine qualities drew Boaz's attention.
Mike Murdock (a tele evangelist) explains it as: Anointed numbers (and a Boaz anointing)- “The reason I’m praying for 70 is that number is a anointing number under Moses, And God said whoever the 70 people are that respect your mantle , that respect your anointing, Moses every time I bless you I’ll bless them. What I’m asking God to do is every time He blesses mike Murdock he blesses you, every time he gives me a financial idea he gives you one. Every time he silences the Devil for me he’ll silences an enemy for you. Every time God heals my son he heals yours. That’s a Boaz anointing, the anointing you respect is the anointing that grows in your life.” I believe Murdock invented it and I don't understand what it has to do with the book of Ruth. Boaz means "strength. " The story of Boaz is found in the Book of Ruth. I know Boaz means strength so it can't have anything to do with the name. Boaz was a very wealthy man who lived in Bethlehem. When Naomi returned to Bethlehem with her widowed daughter-in-law, Ruth, she sent Ruth into the fields of Boaz to glean. Boaz learned that Ruth's deceased husband was a distant relative of his. He acted kindly towards Ruth and instructed his farm workers to leave extra sheaves of barley for her to gather. Ruth had another relative of her late husband who was closer than Boaz. By law, the other relative was obligated to marry Ruth, as stated in Deuteronomy 25:5-10. Boaz confronted the other relative with this law, and after the relative refused to marry Ruth, Boaz agreed to marry Ruth, and to buy the estate of Ruth's deceased husband. After they got married, Ruth had a son named Obed, who became the father of Jesse, who became the father of David. Boaz and Ruth became the great-grandparents of King David. It sounds like he just took a wealth man in the Bible and tied in other Biblical stuff and made up an anointing.
