Who is Ruth's kinsman-redeemer who marries Ruth?

Explanation:
Ruth’s story centers on the kinsman-redeemer, a near relative who has the duty to preserve the deceased husband’s lineage and property for the widow. Boaz fits this role as Naomi’s relative who, after the nearer relative declines, steps in to redeem the land and marry Ruth to continue the family line. Their union secures the lineage that leads to Obed, the grandfather of David. The other names don’t fit: Elimelech died before Ruth’s marriage, so he can’t fulfill the redeemer role; Ruth is the widow herself, not the redeemer; Samuel is a later figure with no part in this marriage.
