The Lord hath testified against me - The phrase is very commonly applied to a man who gives witness concerning (usually against) another in a court of justice Exodus 20:16; 2 Samuel 1:16; Isaiah 3:9. Naomi in the bitterness of her spirit complains that the Lord Himself turned against her, and was bringing her sins up for judgment. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ruth 1:19-21

Ruth 1:19-21. Is this Naomi? Is this she that formerly lived in so much plenty and honour? How marvellously is her condition changed! Call me not Naomi Which signifies pleasant, and cheerful. Call me Mara Which signifies bitter, or sorrowful. I went out full With my husband and sons, and a plentiful estate for our support. Testified That is, hath borne witness, as it were, in judgment, and given sentence against me. Thus she acknowledges that the affliction came from God, and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ruth 1:1-22

1:1-22 TEN YEARS OF HARDSHIP IN MOABWhen a severe famine struck Israel, Elimelech took his wife Naomi and their two sons across the Jordan and south to the land of Moab, in the hope of finding a living there. But Elimelech died, and within ten years his two sons, who had married Moabite wives, died also (1:1-5).Naomi saw no future for herself in Moab, so, upon hearing that the famine in Israel had passed, she decided to return home. Her daughters-in-law loved her and decided to go with her to... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ruth 1:21

Ruth 1:21. The Lord hath testified against me— The former part of the verse expresses what Naomi means by the Lord's testifying against her: she went out full; happy in a husband and two sons; but returned deprived of all, a lonely widow, worn with care, with poverty and age. See ch. Ruth 2:2-3. Several of the versions render this, the Lord hath humbled me. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ruth 1:22

Ruth 1:22. They came to Beth-lehem in the beginning of barley-harvest— The Chaldee paraphrast thus explains these words: "They came to Bethlehem at the beginning of the passover, on the day that the children of Israel began to mow the sheaf which was to be waved, which was of barley." See Leviticus 23:10-11. REFLECTIONS.—On now they travelled, and sweetly, no doubt, beguiled the tedious way in such discourse as might confirm Ruth's holy purpose, and comfort them together, in hope of God's... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ruth 1:19-21

D. Naomi’s weak faith 1:19-21Naomi had experienced both blessing and loss since she had left Bethlehem. When she returned home she chose to emphasize her hardships. She had forgotten God’s faithfulness and His promises to bless all Israel (Genesis 12:1-3; Genesis 12:7), her tribe in particular (Genesis 49:8-12), and all the godly in Israel (Deuteronomy 5:7-10). But her emptiness (Ruth 1:21) was only temporary. Her pessimism at this point contrasts with Ruth’s optimism (Ruth 1:16-18)."In Israel,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ruth 1:22

E. Hope for the future 1:22This summary sentence not only concludes chapter 1 but also prepares the reader for the remaining scenes of the story. Naomi had left Bethlehem pleasant (Heb. na’em) but returned bitter (Ruth 1:20). She had left with Elimelech, one source of blessing in her life, but returned with Ruth, who would become another source of blessing for her. She had left during a famine, but she returned to Bethlehem (lit. house of bread, the place of blessing) at the beginning of... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ruth 1:1-22

The Exile and the Return of Naomi1. Beth-lehem-judah] two hours’ journey S. of Jerusalem, is to be distinguished from Bethlehem in Zebulun (Joshua 19:15). It was but a short distance from Moab, which, in the days here referred to, was a fertile, highly cultivated country. Travellers still speak of it as a land of streams. Nothing short of the compulsion of famine could have induced a Hebrew to migrate into this foreign country where he would have no right of citizenship, this unclean land where... read more
