← Judges 21:24	Judges 21:25 (KJV)	Ruth 1:1 →
And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.	In those days [there was] no king in Israel: every man did [that which was] right in his own eyes.	Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
