The Ammonites were descendants of Ben-Ammi, the son of Lot by his younger daughter, as recorded in <a href="/genesis/19-38.htm">Genesis 19:38</a>: "The younger daughter also gave birth to a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today." The Ammonites occupied the region east of the Jordan River, in what is now modern-day Jordan, with their capital at Rabbah (modern Amman). Geographical Location: The territory of Ammon was located east of the Jordan River, bounded by the Arnon River to the south and the Jabbok River to the north. This region was known for its fertile land and strategic location, which often led to conflicts with neighboring Israelite tribes and other nations. Historical Context: The Ammonites were a Semitic people closely related to the Israelites, yet they frequently found themselves in conflict with them. The relationship between Israel and Ammon was complex, marked by periods of both hostility and cooperation. Biblical References and Interactions: 1. Conflict with Israel: The Ammonites were often at odds with the Israelites. During the period of the Judges, they oppressed the Israelites, leading to the rise of Jephthah as a deliverer (Judges 11). Jephthah's negotiations and subsequent victory over the Ammonites are detailed in <a href="/judges/11-12.htm">Judges 11:12-33</a>. 2. King Saul and David: The Ammonites were involved in conflicts with King Saul and later with King David. Nahash, the king of the Ammonites, initially showed kindness to David, but his successor Hanun humiliated David's envoys, leading to war (<a href="/2_samuel/10.htm">2 Samuel 10:1-19</a>). David's forces, under Joab, defeated the Ammonites, and Rabbah was captured (<a href="/2_samuel/12-26.htm">2 Samuel 12:26-31</a>). 3. Solomon's Reign: During King Solomon's reign, the Ammonites were subject to Israel. Solomon's marriage to an Ammonite princess, Naamah, who became the mother of Rehoboam, is noted in <a href="/1_kings/14-21.htm">1 Kings 14:21</a>. 4. Prophetic Denunciations: The prophets frequently denounced the Ammonites for their idolatry and hostility towards Israel. Jeremiah prophesied against them, declaring, "Concerning the Ammonites, this is what the LORD says: 'Has Israel no sons? Has he no heir? Why then has Molech taken possession of Gad? Why do his people live in its cities?'" (<a href="/jeremiah/49.htm">Jeremiah 49:1</a>). Similarly, Ezekiel and Amos pronounced judgments against Ammon (<a href="/ezekiel/25.htm">Ezekiel 25:1-7</a>; <a href="/amos/1-13.htm">Amos 1:13-15</a>). 5. Post-Exilic Period: After the Babylonian exile, the Ammonites continued to be a thorn in the side of the returning Jewish exiles. Tobiah the Ammonite opposed Nehemiah's efforts to rebuild Jerusalem's walls (<a href="/nehemiah/2-10.htm">Nehemiah 2:10, 19</a>). Religious Practices: The Ammonites were known for their worship of the god Molech, which included detestable practices such as child sacrifice. This idolatry was a significant point of contention between them and the Israelites, who were commanded to worship Yahweh alone. Cultural and Political Influence: Despite their frequent conflicts with Israel, the Ammonites maintained a distinct cultural identity. They were known for their fortified cities and skilled warriors. Their political influence fluctuated, often depending on the strength of neighboring powers such as Israel, Aram, and later, the Assyrian and Babylonian empires. Conclusion: The Ammonites played a crucial role in the biblical narrative, serving as both adversaries and, at times, allies to the Israelites. Their interactions with Israel highlight the complex dynamics of ancient Near Eastern politics and religion.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div>Ammona people; the son of my people<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Ammon(sons of renown, mountaineers), Ammonites, Children of Ammon, A people descended from Ben-ammi, the son of Lot by his younger daughter. (<a href="/genesis/19-38.htm">Genesis 19:38</a>) comp Psal 83:7,8 The Ammonites are frequently mentioned with the Moabites (descendants of Ben-ammi's half-brother), and sometimes under the same name.

In the earliest mention of them, (<a href="/deuteronomy/2-20.htm">2:20</a>) they are said to have dwelt in their place, Jabbok being their border. (<a href="/numbers/21-24.htm">Numbers 21:24</a>; <a href="/deuteronomy/2-37.htm">2:37</a>; <a href="/deuteronomy/3-16.htm">3:16</a>) (i.e. Land or country is, however, but rarely ascribed to them. Their capital city was Rabbath, called also Rabbath Ammon on the Jabbok. We find everywhere traces of the fierce habits of maranders in their incursions.) (<a href="/1_samuel/11-2.htm">1 Samuel 11:2</a>; <a href="/amos/1-13.htm">Amos 1:13</a>) and a very high degree of crafty cruelty to their toes. (<a href="/jeremiah/41-6.htm">Jeremiah 41:6,7</a>; <a href="/judges/17-11.htm">Judges 17:11,12</a>) Moab was the settled and civilized half of the nation of Lot, and Ammon formed its predatory and Bedouin section. On the west of Jordan they never obtained a footing. The hatred in which the Ammonites were held by Israel is stated to have arisen partly from their denial of assistance, (<a href="/deuteronomy/23-4.htm">23:4</a>) to the Israelites on their approach to Canaan. But whatever its origin the animosity continued in force to the latest date. The tribe was governed by a king, (<a href="/judges/11-12.htm">Judges 11:12</a>) etc.; (<a href="/1_samuel/12-12.htm">1 Samuel 12:12</a>; <a href="/2_samuel/10-1.htm">2 Samuel 10:1</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/40-14.htm">Jeremiah 40:14</a>) and by "princes." (<a href="/2_samuel/10-3.htm">2 Samuel 10:3</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/19-3.htm">1 Chronicles 19:3</a>) The divinity of the tribe was Molech [<a href="../m/molech.htm">MOLECH</a>], and they were gross idolaters.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Another form of the name Ben-ammi, the son of Lot (<a href="/genesis/19-38.htm">Genesis 19:38</a>). This name is also used for his posterity (<a href="/psalms/83-7.htm">Psalm 83:7</a>). <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div>AMMON; AMMONITESam'-on, am'-on-its (`ammon; `ammonim): The Hebrew tradition makes this tribe descendants of Lot and hence related to the Israelites (<a href="/genesis/19-38.htm">Genesis 19:38</a>). This is reflected in the name usually employed in Old Testament to designate them, Ben `Ammi, Bene `Ammon, "son of my people," "children of my people," i.e. relatives. Hence we find that the Israelites are commanded to avoid conflict with them on their march to the Promised Land (<a href="/deuteronomy/2-19.htm">Deuteronomy 2:19</a>). Their dwelling-place was on the east of the Dead Sea and the Jordan, between the Arnon and the Jabbok, but, before the advance of the Hebrews, they had been dispossessed of a portion of their land by the Amorites, who founded, along the east side of the Jordan and the Dead Sea, the kingdom of Sihon (<a href="/numbers/21-21.htm">Numbers 21:21-31</a>). We know from the records of Egypt, especially Tell el-Amarna Letters, the approximate date of the Amorite invasion (14th and 13th centuries, B.C.). They were pressed on the north by the Hittites who forced them upon the tribes of the south, and some of them settled east of the Jordan. Thus, Israel helped Ammonites by destroying their old enemies, and this makes their conduct at a later period the more reprehensible. In the days of Jephthah they oppressed the Israelites east of the Jordan, claiming that the latter had deprived them of their territory when they came from Egypt, whereas it was the possessions of the Amorites they took (<a href="/judges/11-1.htm">Judges 11:1-28</a>). They were defeated, but their hostility did not cease, and their conduct toward the Israelites was particularly shameful, as in the days of Saul (<a href="/nasb/1_samuel/11.htm">1 Samuel 11</a>) and of David (<a href="/nasb/2_samuel/10.htm">2 Samuel 10</a>). This may account for the cruel treatment meted out to them in the war that followed (<a href="/2_samuel/12-26.htm">2 Samuel 12:26-31</a>). They seem to have been completely subdued by David and their capital was taken, and we find a better spirit manifested afterward, for Nahash of Rabbah showed kindness to him when a fugitive (<a href="/2_samuel/17-27.htm">2 Samuel 17:27-29</a>). Their country came into the possession of Jeroboam, on the division of the kingdom, and when the Syrians of Damascus deprived the kingdom of Israel of their possessions east of the Jordan, the Ammonites became subjects of Benhadad, and we find a contingent of 1,000 of them serving as allies of that king in the great battle of the Syrians with the Assyrians at Qarqar (854 B.C.) in the reign of Shalmaneser II. They may have regained their old territory when Tiglath-pileser carried off the Israelites East of the Jordan into captivity (<a href="/2_kings/15-29.htm">2 Kings 15:29</a> <a href="/1_chronicles/5-26.htm">1 Chronicles 5:26</a>). Their hostility to both kingdoms, Judah and Israel, was often manifested. In the days of Jehoshaphat they joined with the Moabites in an attack upon him, but met with disaster (<a href="/nasb/2_chronicles/20.htm">2 Chronicles 20</a>). They paid tribute to Jotham (<a href="/2_chronicles/27-5.htm">2 Chronicles 27:5</a>). After submitting to Tiglath-pileser they were generally tributary to Assyria, but we have mention of their joining In the general uprising that took place under Sennacherib; but they submitted and we find them tributary in the reign of Esarhaddon. Their hostility to Judah is shown in their joining the Chaldeans to destroy it (<a href="/2_kings/24-2.htm">2 Kings 24:2</a>). Their cruelty is denounced by the prophet <a href="/amos/1-13.htm">Amos 1:13</a>, and their destruction by <a href="/jeremiah/49-1.htm">Jeremiah 49:1-6, Ezekiel 21:28-32, Zephaniah 2:8, 9</a>. Their murder of Gedaliah (<a href="/2_kings/25-22.htm">2 Kings 25:22-26</a> <a href="/jeremiah/40-14.htm">Jeremiah 40:14</a>) was a dastardly act. Tobiah the Ammonites united with Sanballat to oppose Ne (<a href="/nasb/nehemiah/4.htm">Nehemiah 4</a>), and their opposition to the Jews did not cease with the establishment of the latter in Judea. They joined the Syrians in their wars with the Maccabees and were defeated by Judas (1 Mac 5:6). Their religion was a degrading and cruel superstition. Their chief god was Molech, or Moloch, to whom they offered human sacrifices (<a href="/1_kings/11-7.htm">1 Kings 11:7</a>) against which Israel was especially warned (<a href="/leviticus/20-2.htm">Leviticus 20:2-5</a>). This worship was common to other tribes for we find it mentioned among the Phoenicians. H.
