RUTH—NOTE ON Ruth 4:18 Genealogy: Extended Blessing. Looking backward and forward, this genealogy (compare 1 Chronicles 2:5) shows how the Lord repaid and rewarded Ruth, as Boaz desired (Ruth 2:12). The Lord brought about a new family line which became, through David, the greatest in all Israel. Jesus’ genealogy includes three foreign women—Tamar, Rahab, and Ruth (Matthew 1:3, Matthew 1:5).
