Mahlon:
ma'-lon (machlon, "invalid"): Ruth's first husband (Ru 12,5; 4:9,10). In the latter passage is further evidence of the unwillingness to allow a family connection or inheritance to drop (see MAHLAH; MAHLI). Note that David's descent and that of his "Greater Son" come through Ru and Boaz (Ru 4:22).
Mahlon:
(sick) the first husband of Ruth; son of Eiimelech and Naomi (Ruth 1:2; 1:5; 4:9-10 compare 1 Samuel 17:12).
