and she was.
2 Kings 4:1• 1Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen. (2 Kings 4:1)
;
Psa. 34:19• 19Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. (Psa. 34:19)
;
Heb. 12:6,10‑11• 6For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
 10For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
 11Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. (Heb. 12:6,10‑11)
• Elimelech dies. What else could there be for one who turns his back upon his King? When Israel turned from God, it gave Him up, and that, so far as relationship with Him was concerned, was the end of the nation. It is now, "Lo-Ammi," not my people. Naomi's pleasantness is turned to ashes. The nation has become a widow; God is no longer her King. (“Ruth 1” by S. Ridout)
• He sought to escape death by famine in the land of Judah, he walked straight into the arms of death in the land of Moab. The very step he took to avoid death brought him into death. A wrong step taken to avoid trouble leads into the trouble we seek to avoid. (“Ruth 1: Ruth the Stranger” by H. Smith)
