     4  Mahlon and Chilion, having married wives of Moab, die also.
     6  Naomi, returning homeward,
     8  dissuades her two daughters-in-law from going with her.
    14  Orpah leaves her, but Ruth with great constancy accompanies

      This alludes to the custom that when a married brother died,
      without leaving posterity, his brother should take his widow;
      and the children of such marriages were accounted those of the
      deceased brother.  This address of Naomi to her
      daughter-in-law is exceedingly tender, persuasive, and
      affecting.

       * Ge 31:28,55 1Ki 19:20 Mt 10:37; 19:22 Mr 10:21,22 2Ti 4:10
    - but Ruth.
      The LXX. add, [                                             ,]
      "and returned to her own people."  The Vulgate, Syriac, and
      Arabic are to the same purpose.  It seems a very natural
      addition, and agrees with the assertion in the next verse; and
      is accordingly adopted by Houbigant as a part of the text.
    
       * De 4:4; 10:20 Pr 17:17; 18:24 Isa 14:1 Zec 8:23 Mt 16:24

      were convert is an unfounded conjecture; and the conversion
      of Ruth now only commenced.
    
    - her gods.
       * Jud 11:24
    - return.
       * Jos 24:15,19 2Sa 15:19,20 2Ki 2:2 Lu 14:26-33; 24:28
    
    
    VERSE 16 
     - Ruth.
      A more perfect surrender of friendly feelings to a friend was
      never made.  This was a most extraordinary and disinterested
      attachment.
    
    - Intreat me not.  or, Be not against me.  to leave.

       * Ac 2:42 Eph 6:10
    
    
    VERSE 19 
     - all the city.
      From this it would appear that Naomi was not only well known,
      but also highly respected at Beth-lehem:  a proof that
      Elimelech was of high consideration at that place.
    
       * Mt 21:10

      the 15th of Nisan, corresponding nearly with our March.
