From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Ruth The Book of
      was originally a part of the Book of Judges, but it now forms
      one of the twenty-four separate books of the Hebrew Bible.
     
         The history it contains refers to a period perhaps about one
      hundred and twenty-six years before the birth of David. It gives
      (1) an account of Naomi's going to Moab with her husband,
      Elimelech, and of her subsequent return to Bethlehem with her
      daughter-in-law; (2) the marriage of Boaz and Ruth; and (3) the

         "Brief as this book is, and simple as is its story, it is
      remarkably rich in examples of faith, patience, industry, and
      kindness, nor less so in indications of the care which God takes
      of those who put their trust in him."
