49:1-6 Ammon was the next nation brought to trial in the Lord’s courtroom. Ammon was the second of Lot’s descendants (see study note on 48:1-47); its territory was north of Moab and east of Israel. The destruction of Ammon occurred shortly after the fall of Jerusalem. 49:1 After the fall of the northern kingdom of Israel in 722 BC, the Ammonites moved into territory that had been vacated by the tribe of Gad. • The Ammonites worshiped a fertility god named Molech (“ruler”), who was a lot like Baal (“master”).
