Ruth 1:4-7 New International Version (NIV)

4. They married Moabite women, one named Orpah and the other Ruth. After they had lived there about ten years,

5. both Mahlon and Kilion also died, and Naomi was left without her two sons and her husband.

6. When Naomi heard in Moab that the Lord had come to the aid of his people by providing food for them, she and her daughters-in-law prepared to return home from there.

7. With her two daughters-in-law she left the place where she had been living and set out on the road that would take them back to the land of Judah.
