![]() ![]() The Moabites had never forgiven the Israelite tribes for coming through their area during Israel’s pilgrimage to Canaan ( Numbers 22:1-8). The move was probably difficult because of the bitter strife between the Israelites and Moabites. “Elimelech means “my God is king” and “Naomi” means “pleasant.” Perhaps their two boys were small and weak when they were babies, for they named one “Sickly” (Mahlon), and the other “Weakly” (Kilion). To escape the famine, Elimelech moved his wife, Naomi, and two sons, Mahlon (MAH-lun) and Kilion (KIL-ih-un), to the country of Moab, east of the Dead Sea.
