Hi Everyone

I was reading Matthew 1 this morning, in particular this passage:

5 Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab,
Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth,
Obed the father of Jesse,
6 and Jesse the father of King David.

This seemed strange to me because Rahab was around just as Israel was entering the promised land, and Jesse was around just as the period of the Judges was ending, so how can we fit the period of the book of Judges into this timeline?
