பற்றி · About

Chilion was the son of Elimelech and Naomi, from Bethlehem in Judah. He had a brother named Mahlon. During a famine, Elimelech, Naomi, and their two sons went to live in the country of Moab (Rut.1.1-2). While in Moab, Chilion married a Moabite woman named Orpah, and Mahlon married Ruth (Rut.1.4). Tragically, Elimelech, Chilion, and Mahlon died in Moab, leaving Naomi, Ruth, and Orpah as widows (Rut.1.3,5). When Naomi decided to return to Judah, Orpah remained in Moab, while Ruth chose to accompany her mother-in-law (Rut.1.6-18). Later, when Boaz redeemed the land that had belonged to Elimelech, he also acquired the right to marry Ruth and continue the lineage of Mahlon and Chilion (Rut.4.9-10).
