Ezekiel 25:2-7
“ Son of man, face the Ammonites and prophesy against them.Say to the Ammonites,‘ Hear the word of the Lord GOD: This is what the Lord GOD says: Because you said,“ Aha!” about my sanctuary when it was desecrated, about the land of Israel when it was laid waste, and about the house of Judah when they went into exile,therefore I am about to give you to the people of the east as a possession. They will set up their encampments and pitch their tents among you. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk.I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels and Ammon a resting place for sheep. Then you will know that I am the LORD.“‘ For this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you clapped your hands, stamped your feet, and rejoiced over the land of Israel with wholehearted contempt,therefore I am about to stretch out my hand against you and give you as plunder to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples and eliminate you from the countries. I will destroy you, and you will know that I am the LORD.

Jeremiah 49:1-6
About the Ammonites, this is what the LORD says: Does Israel have no sons? Is he without an heir? Why then has Milcom dispossessed Gad and his people settled in their cities?Therefore look, the days are coming— this is the LORD’s declaration— when I will make the shout of battle heard against Rabbah of the Ammonites. It will become a desolate mound, and its surrounding villages will be set on fire. Israel will dispossess their dispossessors, says the LORD.Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is devastated; cry out, daughters of Rabbah! Clothe yourselves with sackcloth, and lament; run back and forth within your walls, because Milcom will go into exile together with his priests and officials.Why do you boast about your valleys, your flowing valley, you faithless daughter— you who trust in your treasures and say,“ Who can attack me?”Look, I am about to bring terror on you— this is the declaration of the Lord GOD of Armies— from all those around you. You will be banished, each person headlong, with no one to gather up the fugitives.But after that, I will restore the fortunes of the Ammonites. This is the LORD’s declaration.

Zephaniah 2:8-9
I have heard the taunting of Moab and the insults of the Ammonites, who have taunted my people and threatened their territory.Therefore, as I live— this is the declaration of the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel— Moab will be like Sodom and the Ammonites like Gomorrah: a place overgrown with weeds, a salt pit, and a perpetual wasteland. The remnant of my people will plunder them; the remainder of my nation will dispossess them.

Habakkuk 2:5-6
Moreover, wine betrays; an arrogant man is never at rest. He enlarges his appetite like Sheol, and like Death he is never satisfied. He gathers all the nations to himself; he collects all the peoples for himself.Won’t all of these take up a taunt against him, with mockery and riddles about him? They will say,“ Woe to him who amasses what is not his— how much longer?— and loads himself with goods taken in pledge.”

Judges 11:15-28
to tell him,“ This is what Jephthah says: Israel did not take away the land of Moab or the land of the Ammonites.But when they came from Egypt, Israel traveled through the wilderness to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh.Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying,‘ Please let us travel through your land,’ but the king of Edom would not listen. They also sent messengers to the king of Moab, but he refused. So Israel stayed in Kadesh.“ Then they traveled through the wilderness and around the lands of Edom and Moab. They came to the east side of the land of Moab and camped on the other side of the Arnon but did not enter into the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was the boundary of Moab.“ Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, king of Heshbon. Israel said to him,‘ Please let us travel through your land to our country,’but Sihon would not trust Israel to pass through his territory. Instead, Sihon gathered all his troops, camped at Jahaz, and fought with Israel.Then the LORD God of Israel handed over Sihon and all his troops to Israel, and they defeated them. So Israel took possession of the entire land of the Amorites who lived in that country.They took possession of all the territory of the Amorites from the Arnon to the Jabbok and from the wilderness to the Jordan.“ The LORD God of Israel has now driven out the Amorites before his people Israel, and will you now force us out?Isn’t it true that you can have whatever your god Chemosh conquers for you, and we can have whatever the LORD our God conquers for us?Now are you any better than Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever contend with Israel or fight against them?While Israel lived three hundred years in Heshbon and Aroer and their surrounding villages, and in all the cities that are on the banks of the Arnon, why didn’t you take them back at that time?I have not sinned against you, but you are doing me wrong by fighting against me. Let the LORD who is the judge decide today between the Israelites and the Ammonites.”But the king of the Ammonites would not listen to Jephthah’s message that he sent him.

Nehemiah 4:7-23
When Sanballat, Tobiah, and the Arabs, Ammonites, and Ashdodites heard that the repair to the walls of Jerusalem was progressing and that the gaps were being closed, they became furious.They all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and throw it into confusion.So we prayed to our God and stationed a guard because of them day and night.In Judah, it was said: The strength of the laborer fails, since there is so much rubble. We will never be able to rebuild the wall.And our enemies said,“ They won’t realize it until we’re among them and can kill them and stop the work.”When the Jews who lived nearby arrived, they said to us time and again,“ Everywhere you turn, they attack us.”So I stationed people behind the lowest sections of the wall, at the vulnerable areas. I stationed them by families with their swords, spears, and bows.After I made an inspection, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people,“ Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the great and awe-inspiring Lord, and fight for your countrymen, your sons and daughters, your wives and homes.”When our enemies heard that we knew their scheme and that God had frustrated it, every one of us returned to his own work on the wall.From that day on, half of my men did the work while the other half held spears, shields, bows, and armor. The officers supported all the people of Judah,who were rebuilding the wall. The laborers who carried the loads worked with one hand and held a weapon with the other.Each of the builders had his sword strapped around his waist while he was building, and the one who sounded the ram’s horn was beside me.Then I said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people,“ The work is enormous and spread out, and we are separated far from one another along the wall.Wherever you hear the sound of the ram’s horn, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us!”So we continued the work, while half of the men were holding spears from daybreak until the stars came out.At that time, I also said to the people,“ Let everyone and his servant spend the night inside Jerusalem, so that they can stand guard by night and work by day.”And I, my brothers, my servants, and the men of the guard with me never took off our clothes. Each carried his weapon, even when washing.

2 Samuel 10 1-2 Samuel 10 8
Some time later, the king of the Ammonites died, and his son Hanun became king in his place.Then David said,“ I’ll show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, just as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent his emissaries to console Hanun concerning his father. However, when they arrived in the land of the Ammonites,the Ammonite leaders said to Hanun their lord,“ Just because David has sent men with condolences for you, do you really believe he’s showing respect for your father? Instead, hasn’t David sent his emissaries in order to scout out the city, spy on it, and demolish it?”So Hanun took David’s emissaries, shaved off half their beards, cut their clothes in half at the hips, and sent them away.When this was reported to David, he sent someone to meet them, since they were deeply humiliated. The king said,“ Stay in Jericho until your beards grow back; then return.”When the Ammonites realized they had become repulsive to David, they hired twenty thousand foot soldiers from the Arameans of Beth-rehob and Zobah, one thousand men from the king of Maacah, and twelve thousand men from Tob.David heard about it and sent Joab and all the elite troops.The Ammonites marched out and lined up in battle formation at the entrance to the city gate while the Arameans of Zobah and Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were in the field by themselves.
