Ruth: A Historical Backdrop

[@KimmyQueen]

Yo! Ruth was an actual Princess!!!!!!! I love her! I love her even more now! Girl was a Princess!!!!! Amazing. She could have gone back to that! But instead she lived in humble circumstances with her Mother in law... that is amazing that her descendant went on to be a King ..... Wow!

@ 1:15 it is said that Orpah the Moabite princess gave birth to Goliath. That means Goliath was a Moabite. But Goliath fought in the army of the Philistines; a Greek tribe that had settled in the southern coastal region of Israel, in what today is known as Gaza and parts of Southern Israel. Wasn't Goliath a Philistine? Or was Goliath a Moabite mercenary who fought in the army of the Philistines?
