Ruth The Virtuous Woman

Did you know that many people have thought of the book of Ruth as a followup to the book of Judges? I recently read in a commentary by John Sailhamer (NIV Compact Bible Commentary), that the ancient Hebrews considered the book of Ruth a followup to Proverbs, because in it Ruth is a shining example of a virtuous woman. (Proverbs 31:10-31). As you study Ruth see if you can find where Ruth is specifically described as a noble or a virtuous woman.
