A neighboring nation that stayed beefing with Israel for centuries
Descended from Lot's son Ben-Ammi (Genesis 19:38), the Ammonites lived east of the Jordan River. They frequently clashed with Israel and worshiped the god Molech, whose worship involved child sacrifice. Despite the rivalry, Ruth — an ancestor of Jesus — was from the neighboring Moabites, showing God's willingness to bring outsiders into His story.
