http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammon
In the Bible
«/b»According to the biblical account, «u»Genesis 19:37-38 «/u», both Ammon and «u»Moab «/u» were born of an «u»incestuous «/u» relationship between «u»Lot «/u» and his two daughters in the aftermath of the destruction of «u»Sodom and Gomorrah «/u», and collectively the Moabites were referred to as the children of Lot. Throughout the Bible, the Ammonites and Israelites are referred to as antagonists. During the «u»Exodus «/u», the Israelites were prohibited by the Ammonites from passing through their lands. In the «u»Book of Judges «/u», the Ammonites work with «u»Eglon «/u», king of the Moabites against Israel.
Attacks by the Ammonites on Israelite communities east of the Jordan were the impetus behind the unification of the tribes under «u»Saul «/u».
According to both «u»1 Kings 14:21-31 «/u»and «u»2 Chronicles 12:13 «/u», «u»Naamah «/u» was an Ammonite. She was the only wife of King «u»Solomon «/u» to be mentioned, within the «u»Tanakh «/u», as having borne a child. She was the mother of his heir, «u»Rehoboam «/u».
«b»Relation to Assyria
«/b»Ammon maintained its independence from the «u»Assyrian «/u» empire through «u»tribute «/u» to the Assyrian king, at a time when nearby kingdoms were being raided or conquered. Inscriptions describe the Ammonite king «u»Baasha ben Ruhubi «/u»'s army fighting alongside «u»Ahab «/u» and Syrian allies against «u»Shalmaneser III «/u» at the «u»Battle of Qarqar «/u» in 853 BC, possibly as «u»vassals «/u» of «u»Bar-Hadad II «/u», the Aramaean king of «u»Damascus «/u». In 734 their king «u»Sanipu «/u» was a vassal of «u»Tiglath-Pileser III «/u» and his successor, «u»Pudu-ilu «/u», held the same position under «u»Sennacherib «/u» and «u»Esarhaddon «/u». An Assyrian tribute-list exists from this period, showing that Ammon paid one-fifth of Judah's tribute.«u»
«/u»
Somewhat later, their king «u»Amminadab I «/u» was among the tributaries who suffered in the course of the great Arabian campaign of «u»Assurbanipal «/u». Other kings attested to in contemporary sources are «u»Barakel «/u»(attested to in several contemporary «u»seals «/u» and «u»Hissalel «/u» who reigned about 620 BCE (and who is mentioned on an inscription on a bottle found at «u»Tel Siran «/u», Jordan along with his son, King Amminadab II, who reigned around 600 BCE.)
«b»In the Persian empire
«/b»Little mention is made of the Ammonites through the «u»Persian «/u» and early «u»Hellenistic «/u» periods. Their name appears, however, during the time of the «u»Maccabees «/u». The Ammonites, with some of the neighbouring tribes, did their utmost to resist and check the revival of the Jewish power under «u»Judas Maccabaeus «/u».«u»
«/u»
The last notice of the Ammonites themselves is in «u»Justin Martyr «/u», «i»Dialogue with Trypho«/i» (§ 119), where it is affirmed that they were still a numerous people.
«b»Language
«/b»
The few Ammonite names that have been preserved, including Nahash and «u»Hanun «/u». Their language is believed to be «u»Semitic «/u», closely related to «u»Hebrew «/u» and «u»Moabite «/u». Ammonite may have incorporated certain «u»Aramaic «/u» influences including the use of «i»'bd«/i» instead of commoner Biblical Hebrew «i»'«/i» for "work". The only other notable difference with Biblical Hebrew is the sporadic retention of feminine singular «i»-t«/i» (eg «i»'š«/i» "cistern", but «i»'lyh«/i» "high (fem.)".)
