Facts:

The "people of Ammon" or the "Ammonites" were a people group in Canaan. They were descended from Ben-ammi, who was the son of Lot by his younger daughter.

  • The term "Ammonitess" refers specifically to a female Ammonite. This could also be translated as "Ammonite woman."
  • The Ammonites lived east of the Jordan River and were enemies of the Israelites.
  • At one point, the Ammonites hired a prophet named Balaam to curse Israel, but God did not allow him to do it.
