In the Bible, Obed is most notably recognized as the son of Boaz and Ruth, and the grandfather of King David. The name signifies a life dedicated to service and worship, reflecting the character and legacy of the individuals who bore it.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes prophetic or descriptive of a person's character or destiny. Obed, as the son of Boaz and Ruth, represents the continuation of a divinely orchestrated lineage that leads to King David and ultimately to Jesus Christ, according to the genealogies presented in the Gospels. The account of Obed's family is a testament to God's providence and the inclusion of Gentiles into His covenant community, as Ruth was a Moabite.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>active participle of <a href="/hebrew/6.htm">abad</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>destruction<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>destruction (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">אֹבֵד</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>destruction</b></font>, <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">עֲדֵי א</font> <a href="/interlinear/numbers/24-20.htm">Numbers 24:20</a>,24 (J E;
