The Book of Ruth is a short Old Testament book that tells the story of a young Moabite woman who becomes a part of the Israelite community. The book describes how Ruth, after the death of her husband, chooses to remain with her Israelite mother-in-law, Naomi, and accompany her to Bethlehem.

There, Ruth finds work gleaning in the fields of a wealthy Israelite landowner named Boaz. Through a series of events, Ruth and Boaz marry and have a son, Obed, who becomes the grandfather of King David.
