This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Rth_1:19 So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, [Is] this Naomi?

Ver. 19. So they two went until they came to Bethlehem.] Thus God never forsaketh his, Will not forsake even if forsaked { Non deserit etiam si deserat.} but when one comfort faileth, findeth them out another; as when Sarah died, Rebekah came in her room. Yea, God himself stood by Paul when all men forsook him. {2Ti_4:16}



So they two.] Amicitia sit inter binos, qui sunt veri; et bonos, qui sunt pauci.



And it came to pass.] See on Rth_1:1



That all the city was moved about them.] Which showeth that Naomi had been of quality and good account among them.



And they said.] The women said; for the word is of the feminine gender. These women afterwards spake very comfortably to her, as now they do compassionately, saying,



Is this Naomi?] Alas! what a change is in her! O quantum haec (Niobe) Naomi, Naomi mutatur ab illa! Fuimus Troes.
