Why do Milcom's people live in Gad's cities? </p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/jeremiah/49-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>That is why the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will sound the battle cry against Rabbah, where the people of Ammon live. It will become a pile of rubble. Its villages will be burned down. Then Israel will take possession of its inheritance, says the LORD.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/jeremiah/49-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>Cry loudly, Heshbon, because Ai is destroyed. Cry, people of Rabbah, put on your sackcloth, and mourn. Run back and forth between the walls.
