Thank you. Depending on the date of the Targum of Ruth, which I don't know offhand, this could be the earliest refference to this midrash, or have been influenced by the Talmud.

Dear George,

The Talmud (if its really important I'll look up the source) says that Ruth
was the daughter of Eglon king of Moab. Would you think that David would be
descended from just ANY Moabitess? :-)

Yigal

I'm not sure about the Talmud, but "daughter of Eglon king of Moab"
is mentioned in a targum of Ruth 1:4.
