Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ruth 1:1-22

Ruth 1:1-Song of Solomon : . Ruth and Naomi.— Bethlehem ceased for a time to be what its name signified— a house of bread. Under stress of famine Elimelech, with his wife Naomi, left his Judæ an home, and went to sojourn in the land of Moab, where he died. His two sons married women of Moab, Orpah and Ruth, but died childless, so that Naomi and her daughters-in-law were left together in lonely widowhood. Ruth 1:1 . Seen from the uplands of Judea, the mountains of Moab are like an immense wall... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ruth 1:16-18

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Entreat me not—Urge me not (Lange), Force me not (Wordsworth), Be not against me (Trem. Junius, Montan. Bernard, Fuller, Wright; Vulg., Wycliffe, and, Douay Ver.). Thy people shall be [is] my people. I will be a Jewess both in country and religion (Wright). This appears to be a form of compact and union, as we may infer from Zoheir’s speech in Antar (vol. iii. 98): “If you engage, we will engage; if you fight, we will fight; if you die, we will die; yours is our... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Ruth 1:1-22

Ruth 1-4 The Book of Ruth is a love-story told in four chapters. It gives us a glimpse of everyday life in Bethlehem; in home and in harvest-field, in its general gossip and its law-suits, more than three thousand years ago. I. Glancing back over the lines of this sweet and pure pastoral idyll, we feel that rarely did human story more impressively demonstrate the unspeakable worth of lowly folk, the fine and favourable issues of seemingly suppressed lives, the hidden wealth of true and... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ruth 1:1-22

Shall we turn now to the book of Ruth?As we were studying the book of Judges last week, we pointed out that at the end of chapter sixteen, the end of the story of Samson, you actually came to the end of the history part of the book of Judges. What followed in chapter seventeen and onto the end were a couple of incidents, or scenes, that took place during the time of the Judges, just to show that it was a time of spiritual confusion and moral decay as far as the nation was concerned. When the... read more

Ruth 1:16-17Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return.Ruth and NaomiI. Every person is tested. Sooner or later, but certainly. The tests will vary in severity with the cases. In every case they will be conclusive, determining the genuineness of the life professed. They cannot be evaded. If one is for Christ, he will continue with Him. The test of God cannot be too severe. The true follower cannot be driven away. To the strongest appeals he replies: “Lord, to whom shall I go?”II.... read more
