Ruth 4:13-22; Judges 19:1-20:28

As the book of Ruth closes, we learn that Ruth and Boaz marry and have a child named Obed, who will become the grandfather of David. Had Boaz not accepted his responsibility as a redeemer, Israel would not have had the opportunity to serve under King David, and Christians would not be blessed by the psalms of David.

After reading about the men of Gibeah and what they did to the visitor's concubine, I wonder if this is what Jacob had reference to in his "blessing" when he said Benjamin is a ravenous wolf (Genesis 49:27).
