Charles Ellicott Commentary Ruth 1:16

"And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, and to return from following after thee, for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God;" — Ruth 1:16 (ASV)

Intreat me not. —Ruth’s nobleness is proof against all. The intensity of her feeling comes out all the more strongly now that she pleads alone: “I will undertake with you the toilsome journey, I will lodge with you however hard it may be, I will venture among a strange people, and will worship a new god.”
