Kilion

The man's name was Elimelech.

His wife's name was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Malon and Kilion.

They were Ephratites from Bethlehem, Judah, and they went to Moab and lived there.

Now Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died.

Somebody say Ruth.

Ruth.

After they had lived there for about 10 years, both Mahlon and Kilion also died.

And Naomi was left without her two sons and her husband.

The name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth, and they dwelled there about ten years.

Verse 5, And Malon and Kilion died also both of them, and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband.

Verse 7, the first words give all the date we have of this story it was in the days when the judges ruled for one not in those disorderly times when there was no king in israel but under which of the judges these things happened we are not told and the conjectures of the learned are very uncertain it must be toward the beginning of the judges time for boaz who married ruth was born of rahab who received the spies in joshua's time some think it was in the days of ahud others of deborah the learned bishop patrick inclines to think it was in the days of gideon because in his days only we read of a famine by the midianites invasion judges six verses three and four while the judges were ruling some one city and some another providence takes particular cognizance of bethlehem and has an eye to a king to messiah himself who should descend from two gentile mothers rahab and ruth here is first a famine in the land in the land of canaan that land flowing with milk and honey this was one of the judgments which god had threatened to bring upon them for their sins levius twenty six verses nineteen and twenty he has many arrows in his quiver in the days of the judges they were oppressed by their enemies and when by that judgment they were not reformed god tried this for when he judges he will overcome when the land had rest yet it had not plenty even in bethlehem which signifies the house of bread there was scarcity a fruitful land is turned into barrenness to correct and restrain the luxury and wantonness of them that dwell therein

Famine came into the land.

His wife and himself and his two sons, Milan and Kilion, ended up going to Moab.

Her husband dies.

And then her two sons marry two Moabite girls, which they were not supposed to do.

Try to give him some good names.

Could you imagine if I named you sick or diseased? That'd be awful, wouldn't it? But they were going through that situation.

And then also Kilion, his name means pining or wasting away.

It comes from a word meaning complete destruction, consumption, and failing.

During the time of the Judges, a famine had devastated the land of Israel, and this famine affected the entire nation, including Bethlehem, the house of bread.

In response, a man named Elimelech, with his wife Naomi and his two sons, Malon and Kilion, move to the land of Moab.

Not long after, tragedy strikes.

Elimelech dies.

Naomi is left without her husband.

Shortly thereafter, we are told that both Malon and Kilion marry Moabite girls, Malon marrying Ruth and Kilion marrying Orpah.

Within a span of 10 years, tragedy strikes a second and a third time.

Both Malon and Kilion die.

But we'll see in the next Pasuk, his name is Elimelech, his wife's name is Naomi, and he has two children.

His two children's names are Machlin and Kilion, or they actually have other names, Yoyos and Soyrof, But that's not for now.

So this person, this person Ali Melech, he was a descendant of Shevet Yehuda, and he was an important person.

And now the way you can explain why he left Eretz Yisrael is based on what Chazal is saying regarding Shweta Shevet.
