However, the Ammonites are mentioned in the New Testament in relation to the historical context of the Old Testament.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Ben-ammi means "son of my people" or "son of my kinsmen." In the Bible, Ben-ammi is the name of the son born to Lot and his younger daughter. He is recognized as the progenitor of the Ammonites, a people frequently mentioned in the Old Testament.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The account of Ben-ammi is found in the context of the aftermath of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot's daughters, believing they were the last people on earth, sought to preserve their family line by having children with their father. Ben-ammi's descendants, the Ammonites, settled east of the Jordan River and often had contentious relations with the Israelites. The Ammonites are noted for their worship of the god Molech, which included practices detestable to the Israelites.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1121.htm">ben</a> and <a href="/hebrew/5971.htm">am</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"son of my people," a son of Lot<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Ben-ammi (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">בֶּןעַֿמִּי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (<em>son of my people</em>) son of Lot by his younger daughter, and ancestor of the Ammonites (<font class="hebrew2">בְּנֵיעַֿמּוֺן</font> see <font class="hebrew2">עַמּוֺן</font>) <a href="/interlinear/genesis/19-38.htm">Genesis 19:38</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Ben-ammi <p>From <a href="/hebrew/1121.htm">ben</a> and <a href="/hebrew/5971.htm">am</a> with pronomial suffix;
