BOAZ.A Bethlehemite of wealth, the son of Salmon; grandfather of Jesse, and thus ancestor of David (Rth_4:21-22, 1Ch_2:11, Mat_1:5-6, Luk_3:32). He became the second husband of the widowed Ruth, whom he married (according to ancient Hebrew custom) as next-of-kin, when her near kinsman refused to undertake this duty (Rth_4:1-10). See Ruth.

BOAZ, the name of one of the two bronze pillars which stood in front of Solomons Temple. The other was named Jachin (1Ki_7:21, 2Ch_3:17). See Jachin and Boaz, Temple.

Explained in margin 1Ki_7:15-21, "in it (is) strength." Others, fleetness.
1. Of Bethlehem: Elimelech's (Naomi's husband's) kinsman. When the next of kin to Ruth, Naomi's daughter-in-law, declined to do the part of redeemer (god) (See BLOOD) of the inheritance of her deceased husband Mahlon (compare Deu_25:5-10), Boaz did so by marrying her, though much her senior (Rth_3:10). Their son Obed was grandfather of David. There being no objection to an Israelite's marriage with a Moabitess marks an early date (contrast Ezra 9).
David's descent from Ruth the Moabitess accounts for the intimacy of David with the king of Moab, so that it was with him he left his father and mother in his flight from Saul (1Sa_22:3-5); an undesigned coincidence between the books of Samuel and Ruth, a mark of genuineness (compare Psa_27:10). In the genealogy (Rth_4:18-22) several, at least three, generations must be inserted, as the list there only allows ten generations for 850 years, and only four for the 450 years between Salmon and David.
2. The name of one of the two brass pillars in Solomon's temple porch, on the left, as Jachin was on the right. The difference of the height as given in 1Ki_7:15; 1Ki_7:21; 2Ch_3:15, arises from the height in one place including, in the other place excluding, the ornament which united the shaft to the chapiter (compare Jer_52:17-21). The pillars, which were hollow, were broken up and carried to Babylon at the fall of Jerusalem before Nebuchadnezzar.

Bo'az. (fleetness).
1. A wealthy Bethlehemite, kinsman to Elimelech, the husband of Naomi. He married Ruth, and redeemed the estates of her deceased husband, Mahlon. Rth_4:1. Boaz is mentioned in the genealogy of Christ, Mat_1:5. (B.C. 1250, but there is great difficulty in assigning his date).
2. The name of one of Solomon's brazen pillars, erected in the Temple porch. See Jachin. It stood on the left, and was eighteen cubits high. 1Ki_7:15; 21; 2Ch_3:15; Jer_52:21.
Smith's Bible Dictionary

If the Rahab whom the Israelites saved at the time of Jerichos destruction is the same Rahab whose name appears in the genealogy of Jesus, then Boaz was descended from her (Jos_6:17; Rth_4:18-22; Mat_1:1; Mat_1:5). He features in the book of Ruth as the man who helped the young Moabite widow Ruth and later married her (see RUTH).
Boaz was a godly man who was eager to reward Ruth when he learnt of her kindness to her widowed mother-in-law (Rth_2:11-12). He protected her from the local youths (Rth_2:8-9; Rth_2:22), supplied her with food and drink during her days work (Rth_2:9; Rth_2:14), rewarded her gleaning (Rth_2:16-20) and gave her extra supplies of grain (Rth_3:15). He showed no racial prejudice against her in spite of the traditional hostility between Israel and Moab (Rth_2:6; Rth_2:10).
When Ruth asked Boaz to keep alive the name of her late husband by fulfilling the duties of a close relative, Boaz responded generously. He was open and honourable in all his dealings with her, whether concerning marriage or property (Rth_3:11-13; Rth_4:1-6). He married Ruth, and the child born to them was an ancestor of King David and of Jesus the Messiah (Rth_4:18-22; Mat_1:1; Mat_1:5).

bō?az (בּעז, bō‛az; Βόοζ, Bóoz; ?quickness? (?) Ruth 2 through 4; 1Ch_2:11, 1Ch_2:12; Mat_1:5; Luk_3:32):
(1) A resident of Bethlehem and kinsman of Elimelech, Naomi's husband. In Rth_2:1 he is described as a gibbōr ḥayil, a phrase which can mean either ?a mighty man of valor? or else ?a man of position and wealth.? The latter is probably the sense in which the phrase is applied to Boaz (compare 1Sa_9:1). He had fields outside the town, and to them Ruth went to glean. Boaz noticed her and extended special kindness and protection to her, bidding her remain with his female workers, and charging the men not to illtreat her, and also giving her of the reapers' food at mealtime. Boaz awoke one night and found Ruth lying at his feet. He praised her virtue, and promised to take charge of her if her dead husband's next-of-kin failed to do so. He laid her case before the next-of-kin, and finally redeemed the family property himself and bought as well the right to take Ruth in marriage. The son of Boaz and Ruth was Obed, father of Jesse, and grandfather of David. 1Ch_2:11, 1Ch_2:12 makes Boaz a descendant of Hezron, and so probably a chief of the Hezronite clan in Bethlehem. Jewish tradition identifies Boaz with Ibzan (Jdg_12:8-10).
Boaz ?is set before us as a model of piety, generosity and chastity? (H. P. Smith, Old Testament History, 398). He found virtue and rewarded it. HPM, sections 501-8, gives a picture of the life of ?a well-to-do landed proprietor of central Palestine,? much of which could aptly be taken as a description of Boaz.
(2) The name of one of the two bronze pillars erected in front of Solomon's temple, the other being Jachin (1Ki_7:21; 2Ch_3:17). See JACHIN AND BOAZ; TEMPLE.

Boaz, 1
Bo?az, a wealthy Bethlehemite, and near kinsman of the first husband of Ruth, whom he eventually espoused under the obligations of the Levirate law, which he willingly incurred. The conduct of Boaz?his fine spirit, just feeling, piety, and amenity of manners?appears to great advantage in the book of Ruth, and forms an interesting portraiture of the condition and deportment of what was in his time the upper class of Israelites. By his marriage with Ruth he became the father of Obed, from whom came Jesse, the father of David. He was thus one of the direct ancestors of Christ, and as such his name occurs in Mat_1:5 [RUTH; GENEALOGY].
Boaz, 2
Boaz, the name given to one of the two brazen pillars which Solomon erected in the court of the Temple [JACHIN AND BOAZ].

Boaz
is mentioned in the genealogy, Mat_1:5 ("Booz"), as the son of Salmon by Rahab, but there is some difficulty in assigning his date. The genealogy in Ruth (Rth_4:18-22) only allows ten generations for the 833 years from Judah to David, and only four for the 535 years between Salmon and David, if (as is almost certain from Matthew and from Jewish tradition) the Rahab mentioned is Rahab the harlot. If Boaz be identical with the judge Ibzan (q.v.), as is stated with little shadow of probability by the Jerusalem Talmud and various rabbins, several generations must be inserted. Dr. Kennicott, from the difference in form between Salmah and Salmon (Rth_4:20-21), supposes that by mistake two different men were identified (Dssert. i, 543); but we seem to want at least three generations, and this supposition gives us only one. Hence, even if we interpolate two generations before Boaz and one after Obed, still we must suppose each was the youngest son of his father, and that they did not marry till an advanced age (Dr. Mill, On the Genealogies; Lord Hervey, Id. p. 262, etc.; Browne, Ordo Seclorum, p. 263). SEE GENEALOGY; SEE DAVID.
2. (Sept. Βολώζ, and in the latter passage translates Ι᾿σχύς, strength). The name given to the left-hand one of the two brazen pillars which Solomon erected in the court of the Temple (1Ki_7:21; 2Ch_3:17); so called, either from the architect or (if it were a votive offering) from the donor. It was hollow, and surmounted by a chapiter five cubits high, ornamented with net-work and 100 pomegranates. The apparent discrepancies in stating the height of it arise from the- including or excluding of the ornament which united the shaft to the chapiter, etc. SEE JACHIN.
