Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's,.... That was her kinsman by her husband's side, who now lived at Bethlehem; and yet it does not appear that Naomi made any application to him for assistance in her circumstances, though well known to her, as the word used signifies; which might arise from her modesty, and being loath to be troublesome to him, especially as he was a relation, not of her own family, but of her husband's; but, what is more strange, that this kinsman had taken no notice of her, nor sent to her, who yet was a very generous and liberal man, and had knowledge of her coming, for he had heard of the character of Ruth, Ruth 2:11 but perhaps he was not acquainted with their indigent circumstances:
a mighty man of wealth; a man of great wealth and riches, and of great power and authority, which riches give and raise a man to, and also of great virtue and honour, all which the word "wealth" signifies; to which may be added the paraphrase the Targumist gives, that he was mighty in the law; in the Scriptures, in the word of God, a truly religious man, which completes his character:
of the family of Elimelech; the husband of Naomi; some say that his father was Elimelech's brother, Ruth 2:11- :,
and his name was Boaz; which signifies, "in him is strength", strength of riches, power, virtue, and grace; it is the name of one of the pillars in Solomon's temple, so called from its strength. This man is commonly said by the Jews to be the same with Ibzan, a judge of Israel, Judges 12:8: he was the grandson of Nahshon, prince of the tribe of Judah, who first offered at the dedication of the altar, Numbers 7:12, his father's name was Salmon, and his mother was Rahab, the harlot of Jericho, Matthew 1:5. A particular account is given of this man, because he, with Ruth, makes the principal part of the following history.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
A kinsman - More literally âan acquaintanceâ; here (and in the feminine, Ruth 3:2) denoting the person with whom one is intimately acquainted, oneâs near relation. The next kinsman of Ruth 2:20, etc. ××× gaÌ'al, is a wholly different word.
Boaz - Commonly taken to mean, âstrength is in himâ (compare 1 Kings 7:21).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER II
Ruth goes to glean in the field of Boaz, 1-3.
Boaz finds her, and inquires who she is, 4-7.
He speaks kindly to her, gives her permission to follow his
reapers, and orders them to use her well, 8-16.
She returns in the evening to Naomi, and tells her of her fare;
from whom she receives encouragement and advice, 17-23.
NOTES ON CHAP. II
Verse Ruth 2:1. A mighty man of wealth — We have already seen that some suppose Boaz to have been one of the judges of Israel; he was no doubt a man of considerable property.
