| Summary | "The Bible, King James version, Book 8: Ruth" by Anonymous is a scriptural text belonging to the genre of religious literature, written during ancient times, likely around the early centuries of the Common Era. This book is part of the Old Testament and explores themes of loyalty, love, and divine providence in the context of a family's struggles during a famine. The narrative is centered around the titular character Ruth and her relationship with her mother-in-law, Naomi. The story begins with a family from Bethlehem facing famine, leading them to temporarily relocate to Moab. After the deaths of Naomi's husband and two sons, Naomi and her Moabite daughter-in-law, Ruth, return to Bethlehem. Ruth's unwavering commitment to Naomi signifies her loyalty and faith, stating, "Whither thou goest, I will go." In Bethlehem, Ruth gleans in the fields of Boaz, a kind and wealthy relative of Naomi. Eventually, following Naomi's guidance, Ruth seeks Boaz as a kinsman-redeemer, leading to their marriage. The narrative concludes with the birth of their son, Obed, who becomes the grandfather of King David, symbolizing God's blessing amid trials and the importance of faithfulness and redemption.
