SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:18
Y éstas son las generaciones de Fares: Fares engendró a Hezrón;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ruth 4:18
Verse 18. Now these are the generations] The Targum gives a copious paraphrase on this and the following verses, I shall insert the principal parts in their proper places.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. Now these are the generations of Pharez , etc.] The son of Judah, by Tamar before mentioned, ( Ruth 4:12 Genesis 38:29), for the intention of this genealogy is to confirm the truth of Jacob’s prophecy, of Shiloh the Messiah coming from the tribe of Judah, ( Genesis 49:10) and therefore it begins with Pharez, well known to be the son of Judah, and ends with David, whose son the Messiah was to be, as is owned by all Jews and Gentiles that believe the divine revelation: Pharez begat Hezron ; who was one of those that went down with Jacob into Egypt, being born in the land of Canaan, ( Genesis 47:12) called Esrom in ( Matthew 1:3 Luke 3:33).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-22 - Ruth bore a son, through whom thousands and myriads were born to God and in being the lineal ancestor of Christ, she was instrumental in the happiness of all that shall be saved by him; even of us Gentiles, a well as those of Jewish descent. She was a witness for God to the Gentile world, that he had not utterly forsaken them, but that in du time they should become one with his chosen people, and partake of his salvation. Prayer to God attended the marriage, and praise to his attended the birth of the child. What a pity it is that pious languag should not be more used among Christians, or that it should be let fal into formality! Here is the descent of David from Ruth. And the perio came when Bethlehem-Judah displayed greater wonders than those in the history of Ruth, when the outcast babe of another forlorn female of the same race appeared, controlling the counsels of the Roman master of the world, and drawing princes and wise men from the east, with treasure of gold, and frankincense, and myrrh to his feet. His name shall endur for ever, and all nations shall call Him blessed. In that Seed shal all the nations of the earth be blessed __________________________________________________________________
