George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Ruth 1:15
To her gods, &c. Noemi did not mean to persuade Ruth to return to the false gods she had formerly worshipped; but by this manner of speech, insinuated to her, that if she would go with her, she must renounce her false gods, and turn to the Lord, the God of Israel. (Challoner) --- She wished to try her constancy. (Salien) --- Most infer from this passage, that Orpha was never converted, or that she relapsed. --- Her gods, may indeed be rendered in the singular, "god." But what god was... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ruth 1:6-14
6-14 Naomi began to think of returning, after the death of her two sons. When death comes into a family, it ought to reform what is amiss there. Earth is made bitter to us, that heaven may be made dear. Naomi seems to have been a person of faith and piety. She dismissed her daughters-in-law with prayer. It is very proper for friends, when they part, to part with them thus part in love. Did Naomi do well, to discourage her daughters from going with her, when she might save them from the idolatry... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ruth 1:15-18
15-18 See Ruth's resolution, and her good affection to Naomi. Orpah was loth to part from her; yet she did not love her well enough to leave Moab for her sake. Thus, many have a value and affection for Christ, yet come short of salvation by him, because they will not forsake other things for him. They love him, yet leave him, because they do not love him enough, but love other things better. Ruth is an example of the grace of God, inclining the soul to choose the better part. Naomi could desire... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ruth 1:6-22
The Return of Naomi with Ruth v. 6. Then she arose with her daughters-in-law that she might return from the country of Moab, for it was understood that the younger women were merely to accompany her for some distance, perhaps to the boundary of the country; for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the Lord had visited His people, in mercy, in giving them bread, in delivering them from the ravages of the famine. v. 7. Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, where... read more

Ruth 1:7-18.Faithfulness until Death.7Wherefore [And] she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her;15 and they [already] went on the way to return unto the land of Judah. 8And Naomi said [Then said Naomi] unto her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each to her mother’s house: the Lord [Jehovah] deal kindly with you,16 9as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me. The Lord [Jehovah] grant you that ye may find17 rest [a resting-place], each of you in the... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Ruth 1:16-22
Ruth A GENTLE HEROINE, A GENTILE CONVERT Rth_1:16 - Rth_1:22 . The lovely idyl of Ruth is in sharp contrast with the bloody and turbulent annals of Judges . It completes, but does not contradict, these, and happily reminds us of what we are apt to forget in reading such pages, that no times are so wild but that in them are quiet corners, green oases, all the greener for their surroundings, where life glides on in peaceful isolation from the tumult. Men and women love and work and weep and... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Ruth 1:1-14
Back to Bethlehem Ruth 1:1-14 It was a mistake for Elimelech and his family to have left Bethlehem; God would have sent them bread. The path became darker and darker. Mahlon means Pining and Chilion Consumption . Three graves in a strange land! All the laughter and hope that had given Naomi her name of Pleasant had turned to sadness; she longed to see the dear village of her childhood and early married life, and to drink the water of the well, 2 Samuel 23:15 . It is thus that the banished... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Ruth 1:15-22
Love’s Steadfast Choice Ruth 1:15-22 This young woman was to be an ancestor of David and in the line of our Lord’s descent. Moabite though she was by birth, Ruth was designated for the high honor of introducing a new strain into the Hebrew race, that was to enrich it and through it the world. Indeed, we may almost detect in her noble and beautiful words some anticipation of the Psalms, which have gone singing down the ages. But how stern is the discipline through which those must pass who... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ruth 1:16-17
Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me. In what sweet and engaging language hath the Holy Ghost been pleased to convey to the church, the pious and unalterable resolution of this poor Moabite. No doubt Naomi had brought her well acquainted with the history of the God of Israel; and very many precious things she had learnt concerning the Lord's care of his people. But Reader! had this been all, Ruth's... read more
