Boaz (Ruth 2:1–2:1)

“Now Naomi had a kinsman on her husband’s side, a prominent rich man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz.”

Now we meet the other important person in this story, Boaz, who is somehow related to Elimelech, but how is not exactly clear. He was also rich and prominent in the town of Bethlehem. However, there is no indication about his family.
