She had heard] By the mouth of an angel, says the Targum.
The Lord had visited his people] "Because of the righteousness of Ibzan
the judge, and because of the supplications of pious Boaz."-Targum.
It is imagined, and not without probability, that Mahlon and Chilion are
the same with Joash and Saraph, mentioned 1Ch 4:22, where the Hebrew
should be thus translated, and Joash and Saraph, who married in Moab,
and dwelt in Lehem. See the Hebrew.

Jamieson-Faussett Brown:
The aged widow, longing to enjoy the privileges of Israel, resolved to
return to her native land as soon as she was assured that the famine had
ceased, and made the necessary arrangements with her daughters-in-law.
-
Spurgeon Commentary:
This was glad news, and it came to her in a good and pious form. No idle
gossip would have reported the affair in so holy a shape. Perhaps,
however, this was Naomi's way of interpreting the happy event; and it
was a most proper one. We ought always to trace good gifts to the giver.
Our bread, whether it be temporal or spiritual, comes from the Lord.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary:
Naomi began to think of returning, after the death of her two sons.
When death comes into a family, it ought to reform what is amiss there.
Earth is made bitter to us, that heaven may be made dear. Naomi seems to
have been a person of faith and piety. She dismissed her
daughters-in-law with prayer. It is very proper for friends, when they
part, to part with prayer. She dismissed them with afection. If
relations must part,let them thus part in love. Did Naomi do well, to
discourage her daughters from going with her, when she might save them
from the idolatry of Moab, and bring them to the faith and worship of
the God of Israel? Naomi, no doubt, desired to do that; but if they went
with her, she would not have them to go upon her account. Those that
take upon them a profession of religion only to oblige their friends, or
for the sake of company, will be converts of small value. If they did
come with her, she would have them make it their deliberate choice, and
sit down first and count the cost, as it concerns those to do who make a
profession of religion. And more desire "rest in the house of a
husband," or some worldly settlement or earthly satisfaction, than the
rest to which Christ invites our souls; therefore when tried they will
depart from Christ, though perhaps with some sorrow.
