Introduction
Introduction
19 So they two went until they came to Beth-lehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Beth-lehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?
20 And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.
21 I went out full, and the Lord hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the Lord hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?

History of Moab
Born of the daughter of Lot
Balak, king of Moab attempted to hire Balaam to put a curse on Israel
Eglon, king of Moab was slain by Ehud, a judge in Israel
Solomon took wives from Moab and implemented worship of the Moabite god Chemosh
The O.T. prophets continued to prophesy the destruction of Moab
Naomi was an Israelite woman who moved to the land of the Moabites
The Moabites were never the friends of God’s people
Naomi and her husband left Israel because of a famine, and it seemed better in Moab
They prospered for a time, even taking wives there for their two sons
In the end, the husband died and the two sons died also
Naomi returns to Israel with Ruth broken and destitute
It seemed like a good idea at the time
But it led to immeasurable loss in the end
