<P> 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 . It is named after its central figure , Ruth the Moabitess , the great - grandmother of David . </P>
