Ruth 1:5

Then both Machlon and Chilion died, and the woman [Naomi] was left alone without her little boys and her husband.
[In verses 1-3 the Hebrew word ben for sons has been used. Here, however, the word yeled is used for babies and small children. The choice of words and the sequence of words reinforce the tragedy. Although her sons were grown men, they were her beloved little boys.]
