Obed (hebr.: עוֹבֵד ‘Ōḇēḏ, "worshipper") was a son of Boaz and Ruth. He was the father of Jesse, the grandfather of King David and is named as one of Jesus's ancestors in the genealogies recorded in the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke. He is honored as a Patriarch on the Sunday of the Holy Ancestors in the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches, arguably labelling him as a saint in those traditions.
