Ruth 1:19 (King James Version)
So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?
- all the city
- From this it would appear that Naomi was not only well known, but also highly respected at Beth-lehem: a proof that Elimelech was of high consideration at that place.
- Matthew 21:10
- Is this Naomi?
- Isaiah 23:7 ; Lamentations 2:15
