- Genesis 19:38
The younger daughter also gave birth to a son, and she named him Ben-ammi. He is the father of the Ammonites of today.
Commentary on Genesis 19:382 voices
And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Ben-ammi - בן עמי Ben-ammi, the son of my people. Both these names seem to justify the view taken of this subject above, viz., that it was merely to preserve the family that the daughters of Lot made use of the above expedient; and hence we do not find that they ever attempted to repeat it, which, had it been done for any other purpose, they certainly would not have failed to do. On this subject Origen, in his fifth homily on Genesis, has these remarkable words: Ubi hic libidinis culpa, ubi incesti criminis arguitur?
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Numbers 21:24
And Israel put him to the sword and took possession of his land, from the Arnon to the Jabbok—but only up to the border of the Ammonites, because it was fortified.
Commentary on Numbers 21:241 voice
And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword,....

- Deuteronomy 2:19
But when you get close to the Ammonites, do not harass them or provoke them, for I will not give you any of the land of the Ammonites. I have given it to the descendants of Lot as their possession.”
Commentary on Deuteronomy 2:191 voice
And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Deuteronomy 2:37
But you did not go near the land of the Ammonites, or the land along the banks of the Jabbok River, or the cities of the hill country, or any place that the LORD our God had forbidden.
Commentary on Deuteronomy 2:371 voice
Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not,....

- Deuteronomy 23:3–6
No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, even to the tenth generation.
Commentary on Deuteronomy 23:3–61 voice
An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord,....

- Joshua 12:2
Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon. He ruled from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along the middle of the valley, up to the Jabbok River (the border of the Ammonites), that is, half of Gilead,
Commentary on Joshua 12:22 voices
And if "a wise man shall understand the words from his own mouth and shall hear knowledge on his lips," we must either declare rashly that the prophets were not wise, if they have not understood "the words from their own mouth," or admit that the prophets were wise, because they have received what is correct and true and have understood "the words from their own mouth" and borne knowledge on their lips.
Origen of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 6.21-22, 253Patristic
Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon,....

- Joshua 13:10
and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the border of the Ammonites;
Commentary on Joshua 13:101 voice
And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon,.... A city he took from the Moabites, and made it his royal seat, Num 21:26, unto the border of the children of Ammon; which was the river Jabbok, Deu 3:16.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Joshua 13:25
The territory of Jazer, all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the Ammonites as far as Aroer, near Rabbah;
Commentary on Joshua 13:252 voices
Half the land on the children of Ammon - This probably was land which had been taken from the Ammonites by Sihon, king of the Amorites, and which the Israelites possessed by right of conquest. For although the Israelites were forbidden to take the land of the Ammonites, Deu 2:37, yet this part, as having been united to the territories of Sihon, they might possess when they defeated that king and subdued his kingdom.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
And their coast was Jazer,....

- Judges 3:12
Once again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD. So He gave Eglon king of Moab power over Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.
Commentary on Judges 3:121 voice
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Judges 3:13
After enlisting the Ammonites and Amalekites to join forces with him, Eglon attacked and defeated Israel, taking possession of the City of Palms.
Commentary on Judges 3:132 voices
The children of Ammon (Bent-Ammon), almost always so spoken of from their ancestor Ben-ammi Gen 19:38, seem to be under the leadership of the king of Moab, as do also the Amlekites: this is perhaps the strengthening spoken of in Jdg 3:12. In Judg. 6 the combination is Midianites, Amalekites, and children of the East, or Arab tribes. In the narrative of Jephthahs judgeship, the Ammonites alone are mentioned; but with a reference to the Moabites, and as if they were one people Jdg 11:

And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek,....

- Judges 10:6
And again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD. They served the Baals, the Ashtoreths, the gods of Aram, Sidon, and Moab, and the gods of the Ammonites and Philistines. Thus they forsook the LORD and did not serve Him.
Commentary on Judges 10:61 voice
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord,....

- Judges 10:7–18
So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and Ammonites,
Commentary on Judges 10:7–181 voice
And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Judges 11:13
The king of the Ammonites answered Jephthah’s messengers, “When Israel came up out of Egypt, they seized my land, from the Arnon to the Jabbok and all the way to the Jordan. Now, therefore, restore it peaceably.”
Commentary on Judges 11:131 voice
And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah,....

- Judges 11:32
So Jephthah crossed over to the Ammonites to fight against them, and the LORD delivered them into his hand.
Commentary on Judges 11:321 voice
So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon, to fight against them,.... As in Jdg 11:29, after he had made the above vow: and the Lord delivered them into his hands; when both armies met and engaged, victory was on the side of Jephthah; the Lord being with him, and giving him success, to where all is justly ascribed.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Judges 11:33
With a great blow he devastated twenty cities from Aroer to the vicinity of Minnith, as far as Abel-keramim. So the Ammonites were subdued before the Israelites.
Commentary on Judges 11:332 voices
And he smote them from Aroer,.... A city which lay near the river Arnon, on the borders of Moab, Deu 3:12. even till thou come to Minnith; which seems to have been a place famous for wheat, Eze 27:17 so David de Pomis (a) says it was a place where the best wheat grew. Jerom says (b) in his time was shown a village called Mannith, four miles from Esbus (or Heshbon), as you go to Philadelphia.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
As in the conflicts with the Moabites, Canaanites, and Midianites Judg. 3; 4; 7, the battle was on Israelite territory, in self-defense, not in aggressive warfare. The plain of the vineyards - Rather, Abel-Ceramim (compare Abel-Meholah), identified with an Abel situated among vineyards, 7 miles from Robbah. Minnith is Maanith, 4 miles from Heshbon, on the road to Rab-bah.
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- Judges 12:1–3
Then the men of Ephraim assembled and crossed the Jordan to Zaphon. They said to Jephthah, “Why have you crossed over to fight the Ammonites without calling us to go with you? We will burn your house down with you inside!”
Commentary on Judges 12:1–32 voices
And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together,.... Or "cried" (r); got together by a cry or proclamation made: in the Hebrew text it is, "a man of Ephraim"; not a single man, but a body of men, who met together and joined as one man.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Compare the similar complaint of the Ephraimites to Gideon Jdg 8:1, when a civil war was only avoided by Gideons wise and patriotic moderation. The overhearing pride of Ephraim comes out in both occurrences (see also Jos 17:14-18). We will burn thine house upon thee with fire - Compare the fierce threat of the Philistines to Samsons wife Jdg 14:15, and the yet fiercer execution Jdg 15:6. Burning appears as a mode of capital punishment Gen 38:24; Jos 7:25, and as a mode of desperate warfare (Jdg 1:8; Jdg 20:48; Jos 8:8, Jos 8:19, etc.).
