Wesley's Notes

1:19 Is this - Is this she that formerly lived in so much plenty and honour? How marvelously is her condition changed?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

Ru 1:19-22. They Come to Beth-lehem.

19-22. all the city was moved about them-The present condition of Naomi, a forlorn and desolate widow, presented so painful a contrast to the flourishing state of prosperity and domestic bliss in which she had been at her departure.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

1:19-22 Naomi and Ruth came to Bethlehem. Afflictions will make great and surprising changes in a little time. May God, by his grace, fit us for all such changes, especially the great change!, Naomi signifies pleasant, or amiable; Mara, bitter, or bitterness. She was now a woman of a sorrowful spirit. She had come home empty, poor, a widow and childless. But there is a fulness for believers of which they never can be emptied; a good part which shall not be taken from those who have it. The cup of affliction is a bitter cup, but she owns that the affliction came from God. It well becomes us to have our hearts humbled under humbling providences. It is not affliction itself, but affliction rightly borne, that does us good.


Matthew 21:10 When He had entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, "Who is this?" (NASB ©1995)
