5985. Ammonith
Strong's Lexicon
Ammonith: Ammonitess

Original Word: עַמּוֹנִית
Part of Speech: Adjective
Transliteration: Ammowniyth
Pronunciation: am-mo-neeth'
Phonetic Spelling: (am-mo-neeth')
Definition: Ammonitess
Meaning: an Ammonitess

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: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Ammonith" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the term specifically refers to a female Ammonite in the Hebrew context.

Usage: The term "Ammonith" refers to a female member of the Ammonite people, a group often in conflict with the Israelites. The Ammonites were descendants of Lot and were considered relatives of the Israelites, yet they frequently opposed Israel throughout biblical history.

Cultural and Historical Background: The Ammonites were a Semitic people living east of the Jordan River. Their capital was Rabbah, present-day Amman in Jordan. The Ammonites worshiped the god Milcom or Molech, and their practices were often in direct opposition to the worship of Yahweh. The Israelites were instructed not to seek peace or prosperity for the Ammonites (Deuteronomy 23:3-6), reflecting the tension between the two groups. Despite this, there were instances of intermarriage, such as Solomon's marriage to Naamah the Ammonitess (1 Kings 14:21).
