Ruth a book of the Bible telling the story of
Ruth, a Moabite woman, who when her husband died resolved to accompany her mother-in-law Naomi back to Judah, with the words, ‘Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goes, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.’
The two women returned to Judah, and through Naomi's agency Ruth married her deceased husband's kinsman Boaz and bore a son who became grandfather to King David.
Ruth together with Naomi may be taken as a type of devotion; the image of Ruth herself, in her early days in Judah, may also be that of a lonely stranger.
