In Ruth 4:18-22, the genealogy recorded is different from Luke Luke 3:23-38.

Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez fathered Hezron, 19 Hezron fathered Ram, Ram fathered Amminadab, 20 Amminadab fathered Nahshon, Nahshon fathered Salmon, 21 Salmon fathered Boaz, Boaz fathered Obed, 22 Obed fathered Jesse, and Jesse fathered David.

David, 32 the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Sala, the son of Nahshon, 33 the son of Amminadab, the son of Admin, the son of Arni, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez

In Ruth, Boaz is the son of Salmon, and Amminadab is the son of of Ram, in Luke, Boaz is the son of Sala, Amminadab is the son of Admin, and gives an extra Arni.
