Moabite woman who followed her mother-in-law Naomi back to Bethlehem after both their husbands died. She gleaned barley in the fields of Boaz, who became her kinsman-redeemer. Her words of loyalty to Naomi ("where you go I will go") are among the most quoted in the Hebrew Bible. She became the great-grandmother of David.
