Did anybody else think Tob got a raw deal?
I kind of felt sorry for Tob. He gives Ruth and Naomi the most stuff. He also believes in Ruth the most without any doubt. He pretty much turned the Judges around from stoning Ruth while Boaz was having his doubts. He seemed to be a lot more fun than the dour Boaz. Ruth repays him by lieing to him in front of all his friends that she slept with Boaz. She does this on their wedding day no less. To add insult to injury she marries Boaz wearing the dress he paid for. I don't know if the Bible ever mentions what later on happened to Tob, but I bet he stayed drunk for a month.
