Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from עַמּוֹן (Ammon), referring to the descendants of Ben-Ammi, the son of Lot by his younger daughter (Genesis 19:38).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G144 (Ἀμμωνίτης, Ammonites): Refers to an Ammonite in the New Testament context, though the term is not directly used in the Greek New Testament, it corresponds to the Hebrew term in historical and cultural discussions.

Usage: The term "Ammonite" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe individuals from the nation of Ammon. It is often used in contexts involving conflict or prohibition against intermarriage with Israelites.

Context: The Ammonites were a Semitic people closely related to the Israelites, descending from Lot, Abraham's nephew. The nation of Ammon was situated east of the Jordan River, in what is now modern-day Jordan. The Ammonites frequently appear in the biblical narrative as adversaries of Israel. They are first mentioned in Genesis 19:38, where their ancestor, Ben-Ammi, is born to Lot and his younger daughter.

Throughout the biblical text, the Ammonites are depicted as hostile towards Israel. In Judges 10:6-9, they oppress the Israelites, leading to conflict. King Saul and King David both engaged in military campaigns against them (1 Samuel 11:1-11; 2 Samuel 10:1-14). The Ammonites are also noted for their idolatrous practices, worshiping gods such as Milcom and Molech, which were abhorred by the Israelites (1 Kings 11:5, 7).

The Ammonites' relationship with Israel was further complicated by prohibitions against intermarriage and their exclusion from the assembly of the Lord, as stated in Deuteronomy 23:3-4: "No Ammonite or Moabite may enter the assembly of the LORD, even to the tenth generation." This exclusion was due to their refusal to assist the Israelites during their exodus from Egypt and their hiring of Balaam to curse Israel.

Despite these hostilities, there are instances of interaction and integration, such as the marriage of Solomon to an Ammonite woman, Naamah, who became the mother of Rehoboam (1 Kings 14:21).
