Ruth

Ruth is a key figure from the Bible, specifically in the Book of Ruth, which is part of the Old Testament. She is a Moabite woman who, after losing her husband, chooses to stay with her Israelite mother-in-law, Naomi, rather than return to her own family. Ruth's loyalty and determination lead her to find work in a field owned by Boaz, a relative of Naomi. Eventually, Boaz marries Ruth, securing her and Naomi's future. Ruth’s story is celebrated for themes of loyalty, love, and the importance of relationships, and she is often seen as an ancestor of King David, linking her to Jewish heritage.
