Who is Ruth?
RUTH
(a friend, or, according to others, beauty), a Moabitish woman, Ruth 1:4, who married a son of Naomi and showed her strong attachment to her mother-in-law by leaving her own country and following her mother-in-law into Judaea. Her kindness was abundantly rewarded, as she soon found favor in the eyes of a kinsman, who afterward married her, through which event she became the ancestor of the royal family of David.
