1-6
Boaz waits for Ruth's closest relative by the city gate. He finds him and tells him to sit and also gets ten elders. He tells the relative about how Naomi wants to sell Elimelech's land. He can either buy the land and marry Ruth or let Boaz buy the land and marry Ruth. He chooses to let Boaz buy it because he didn't want to lose his land.
7-17
The relative gave his sandal to Boaz to show that he was serious. Boaz tells the crowd that they are all now witnesses and the people agreed. He marries Ruth and the LORD gave Ruth a son. The women marveled at what a blessing the boy was to Naomi and she took him and cared for him. The neighbors named him Obed.
18-22
This is the family history of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron. Hezron was the father of Ram. Ram was the father of Amminadab. Amminadab was the father of Nahshon. Nahshon was the father of Salmon. Salmon was the father of Boaz. Boaz was the father of Obed. Obed was the father of Jesse. Jesse was the father of David.
Whoo that's it were done with Ruth and she and Boaz lived happily ever after. The End

Verses 9-11 talks about having witnesses and being truthful about what the witnesses have witnessed while watching you. And because they are witnesses, they know to whole truth, and not someone that thinks from a rumor.
Verse 16 is talking about caring for childrens, even if they are not your own.
I like verse 17 because when the neighbor women said that Naomi has a son again, they are saying that God has blessed her again. I didn't know that Obed was the grandfather of David.
