Contextual Overview
1 In the days of the judges, when the judges ruled, there came a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem Juda, went to sojourn in the land of Moab with his wife and his two sons. 2 He was named Elimelech, and his wife Noemi: and his two sons, the one Mahalon, and the other Chelion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Juda. And entering into the country of Moab, they abode there. 3 And Elimelech the husband of Noemi died: and she remained with her sons. 4 And they took wives of the women of Moab, of which one was called Orpha, and the other Ruth. And they dwelt their ten years, 5 And they both died, to wit, Mahalon and Chelion: and the woman was left alone, having lost both her sons and her husband.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died,.... According to Josephus x, after he had dwelt in the land ten years, and had married his two sons to Moabitish women; but, as Alshech observes, the text shows that while he was living they were not married to them, but after his death; and it is said of them only that they dwelt there about ten years; so that it is most probable that their father died quickly after he came into the land of Moab: and she was left, and her two sons; in a strange land, she without a husband, and they without a father.
x Ut supra. (Antiqu. l. 5. c. 9. sect. 1.)
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ruth 1:3. Elimelech - died — Probably a short time after his arrival in Moab.
