4.18Hæ sunt. Decem sunt generationes filii Judæ usque ad David. Unde cognoscis quia totius divinæ legis intentio ad Christum tendit, qui natus est de semine David, ut illius adventum prædicet et legis perfectionem in eo manifestet: Finis enim legis Christus ad justitiam omni credenti Rom. 10.. Ante legem ergo Jacob de incarnatione Christi ait: Non auferetur sceptrum de Juda, et dux de femore ejus, donec veniat qui mittendus est. Ad David autem, quia Christus de semine Juda, dictum est: De fructu ventris tui ponam super sedem tuam. Patet ergo etiam prophetarum et patriarcharum oraculum pertinere ad dispensationem Domini nostri Jesu Christi.

4:18-22 The book of Ruth ends with a genealogy of ten generations, from Perez, the son of Judah (Jacob’s son), to David, the grandson of Obed. Besides being one of the world’s great stories, this tale concerns the family history of David, Israel’s greatest king. That Ruth and Boaz were ancestors of Israel’s greatest king is a major reason for the inclusion of this small book in the Old Testament.
Because it was mentioned earlier that Perez was the son of Judah, the writer continues listing the family line that came from Perez. Verse 4:17 was the end of the story about Naomi and Ruth, and verse 4:18 begins a final section that lists the family line of the clan of Ephrathah, showing how important Obed was as the grandfather of King David. Use a connecting word that signals that this is a new section. You may also need to make it clear that this verse refers to a much earlier time than the time period of the story. Alternate translation: “the successive descendants of our clan, starting with Perez”
The story of Ruth is set in the time of the Judges, a few generations before the birth of King David. While much animosity often existed between Israel and Moab (Judges 3:12-30; 10:6-12:7; 2 Samuel 8:2; 10; 2 Kings 3:4-27; 2 Chronicles 20; see also Nations across the Jordan River map), other times the two nations appear to have enjoyed a somewhat congenial relationship, as is demonstrated by Naomi’s willingness to relocate to Moab to seek relief from a famine. Later Naomi’s sons also marry Moabite women, and Ruth’s devotion to Naomi and her God no doubt speaks highly of the character of many Moabites. Many years later Ruth’s great-grandson David placed his parents in the care of the king of Moab while he was on the run from King Saul (1 Samuel 22:3-4).
