In the book of Ruth, chapter 3, Ruth's mother-in-law Naomi told her she must find a husband so she can have a place of her own. She then said for her to go to Boaz's home and once he lies down for the night, to sleep at his feet. When he awakens, he will tell her what to do.
Ruth did as she was told.
That night, Boaz awoke to find Ruth at his feet. He blessed her with a load of barley to give to Naomi. Then, he went to meet with the leaders of the community and purchased the land Naomi owned, and in turn married Ruth.
Ruth then bore a child, a son, who would be the grandfather of King David.
