Contextual Overview
1 In the days when there were judges to rule, there was a time of no food in the land. A certain man of Bethlehem in Judah went to visit the land of Moab with his wife and his two sons. 2 The name of the man was Elimelech. His wife's name was Naomi. And the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion. They were Ephrathites of Bethlehem in Judah. They went into the land of Moab and stayed there. 3 But Naomi's husband Elimelech died. And she was left with her two sons, 4 who married Moabite women. The name of one was Orpah. The name of the other was Ruth. After living there about ten years, 5 both Mahlon and Chilion died. Naomi was left without her two children and her husband.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them,.... As well as their father, in the land of Moab, after they had lived with their wives in it about ten years; the Targum is,
"because they transgressed the decree of the Word of the Lord, and joined in affinity with strange people, their days were cut off;''
or shortened:
and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband; deprived both of her husband and her sons, which was a great affliction, aggravated by her being in a strange country; many are the afflictions of the righteous.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ruth 1:5. And Mahlon and Chilion died — The Targum adds, And because they transgressed the decree of the word of the Lord, and joined affinity with strange people, therefore their days were cut off. It is very likely that there is more here than conjecture.
