"The time of the Judges was a time of change. We’re told multiple times that everyone did what was right in their own eyes. We read about how evil was so prevalent that no one seems to have been able to worship God the way they were supposed to. That is one of the reasons why the book of Ruth is so shocking. How could a non-Israelite woman display faithfulness and godliness when most Israelites themselves were not? Someone outside of the Israelite covenant kept it better than those on the inside. These things should not be, but they were, and the Bible draws attention to them. This gentile woman of no earthly means put to shame the unrighteous pious of Israel, and in so doing she married into the tribe of Judah and became the foremother of King David, and eventually of Jesus. God can and will use unexpected things to grab our attention and teach us meaningful lessons. He called faithful Ruth to be an example for Israel and for us.
