Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ruth 1:11-13

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Are there yet sons? etc. In allusion to the custom of a man raising posterity to his deceased brother by taking his widow (Adam Clarke, Jarci, Wright, Keil). Probably this custom obtained among other nations (Patrick, Scott). Known among the Gentiles before it was given to Israel (Gill, Speaker’s Com.) (cf. Genesis 38:8; Genesis 38:26; Deuteronomy 25:5). That law respects a brother by the father’s side, and not by the mother’s only (Aben Ezra, Carpzov). Not... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Ruth 1:1-22

Ruth 1-4 The Book of Ruth is a love-story told in four chapters. It gives us a glimpse of everyday life in Bethlehem; in home and in harvest-field, in its general gossip and its law-suits, more than three thousand years ago. I. Glancing back over the lines of this sweet and pure pastoral idyll, we feel that rarely did human story more impressively demonstrate the unspeakable worth of lowly folk, the fine and favourable issues of seemingly suppressed lives, the hidden wealth of true and... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ruth 1:1-22

Shall we turn now to the book of Ruth?As we were studying the book of Judges last week, we pointed out that at the end of chapter sixteen, the end of the story of Samson, you actually came to the end of the history part of the book of Judges. What followed in chapter seventeen and onto the end were a couple of incidents, or scenes, that took place during the time of the Judges, just to show that it was a time of spiritual confusion and moral decay as far as the nation was concerned. When the... read more

Ruth 1:10Surely we will return with thee.Promises and purposesI. Promises of speech and purposes of heart, whether to God, to His church, or to individuals, ought to go hand in hand. If a man’s word does not express his meaning and bind him, nothing can.II. Promises and purposes often proceed from passion instead of principle.III. Promises and purposes proceeding merely from passion soon fall to the ground. “I go, sir,” one said in the Gospels, and “went not.” Some persons melting under the... read more

Ruth 1:11-13It grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the Lord is gone out against me.Naomi’s parting addressThis is a great aggravation of the afflictions of many parents, that their children are involved with themselves. They could bear poverty, they could bear reproach, they could bear death itself, had they none who depended on them for bread and for respectability in the world. God has the same right to rule over the fruit of our bodies as over ourselves, and to allot to them... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ruth 1:10

Rth 1:10 And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people. Ver. 10. Surely we will return with thee. ] So they both said, and said as they thought: but Orpah, upon second thoughts, did otherwise. Saul in a passion promised fair, 1Sa 24:16-17 ; 1Sa 26:21 but David knew there was no trusting to either his tears or his talk. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ruth 1:11

Rth 1:11 And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? [are] there yet [any more] sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands? Ver. 11. Turn again, my daughters. ] Though she were but their step-mother, yet, as one stepped in to be instead of a natural mother, she calleth them her daughters. It is good policy to preserve an opinion of our love in the hearts of those whom we would persuade to any good, and to speak them fair. Why will ye go with me? ] q.d., Go not,... read more
