Episode Synopsis

"As the book's concluding word... David sounded the triumph of God's providence over the vicissitudes suffered by the names listed. Considering Judah's irresponsibility (Gen. 38), the perilous intervening centuries, and Ruth's earlier infertility (1:4-5), that David was born at all amply attested the presence of that providence. Further, given Saul's cruel vengeance (1 Sam. 18-28), David's ascent to power provided weighty corroborating evidence. God is, indeed, King!" —Robert L. Hubbard Jr.
