“ Sir, I hope you will continue to be kind to me,” Ruth said.“ You have made me feel safe. You have spoken kindly to me. And I’m not even as important as one of your servants!”

Then she said,“ I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, for you have comforted me and spoken kindly to your servant, though I am not one of your servants.”

She bowed low to the ground and responded,“ I, your servant, would be happy to marry David. I would even be willing to become a slave, washing the feet of his servants!”

But then he fell in love with her, and he tried to win her affection with tender words.

“ And what were all the flocks and herds I met as I came?” Esau asked. Jacob replied,“ They are a gift, my lord, to ensure your friendship.”
