2 | famine and Judges crossreference | Ruth 1:1 | David_24597 | 71656 | ||
Well, Ruth was the grandmother of King David. He was the second king of Israel. Saul was the first and he ruled for 40 years (it's in Acts somewhere the he ruled for 40 years). When Saul became king this brought about the end of the rule of the judges in Israel (read the last verse of the book of Judges). Ruth's son was born very near the time when Saul became king (David was still fairly young, I think, when he became king). Ruth came from Moab with her mother-in-law Naomi. Naomi was in Moab for about 10 years (Ruth 1:4). So, I think, that this famine mentioned in verse 1 would have taken place in the last generation of the judges, right after Samson. I think he was the last judge mentioned in the book of Judges. This famine then would have been right around the time that the tribe of Benjamin was destroyed (read Judges chapters 17-21). Phinehas the grandson of Aaron (Moses' brother) was still alive at this time as well (20:28). Does this help you any? | ||||||
