Question: where in the bible is the story of ruth and naomi
Answer: The Book of Ruth ( Hebrew : מגילת רות ‎ , Megilath Ruth , `` the Scroll of Ruth '' , one of the Five Megillot ) is included in the third division , or the Writings ( Ketuvim ) , of the Hebrew Bible ; in most Christian canons it is treated as a history book and placed between Judges and 1 Samuel , as it is set `` in the days when the judges judged '' , although the Syriac Christian tradition places it later , between Ecclesiastes and the Song of Songs .
