I am not aware of the one in Ruth (didn’t find it) but the ones I found are
Genesis 16:12 (of course), 49:8, Exodus 7:4, 1 Samuel 18:17, 24:6, 10, 26:9,
11, 23, 2 Samuel 18:28, 20:21, 24:17, 1 Kings 11:26–27, Esther 2:21, 3:6,
6:2, 8:7, 9:2, Daniel 11:42, 1 Chronicles 21:17. From these examples, with
the verbs HYH and $LX, or understood verb to be, YD B- indicates opposition,
attacking.
There are a few times where YD B- are found, but on closer look are not part
of the phrase in question, such as 1 Samuel 23:16, 2 Samuel 8:3, Ezekiel
27:21.
