13 Unya siya miingon: Pakitaa ako ug kalooy sa imong mga mata, ginoo ko; kay niana ikaw naglipay kanako, ug tungod niana ikaw nakigsulti kanako nga may kalolot sa imong ulipon nga babaye, bisan pa nga ako dili sama sa usa sa imong mga sulogoon nga babaye.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then she said, let me find favour in thy sight, my lord,.... Or rather, since she had found favour in his sight already: the words are to be considered, not as a wish for it, but as acknowledging it, and expressing her faith and confidence, that she should for time to come find favour in his sight, and have other instances of it; for so the words may be rendered, "I shall find favour" z, for which she gives the following reasons:
for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid; had spoken in her commendation, and wished her all happiness here and hereafter; said kind and comfortable words to her, to her very heart, as in Isaiah 40:2 which were cheering, refreshing, and reviving to her:
though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens; not worthy to be one of them, or to be ranked with them, being meaner than the meanest of them, a poor widow, and a Moabitish woman; the Septuagint and Syriac versions leave out the negative particle, and read, "I shall be as one of thine handmaids".

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ruth 2:13. Not like unto one of thine hand-maidens. — I am as unworthy of thy regards as any of thine own maidservants, and yet thou showest me distinguished kindness.
