They were of Semitic origin ,
and closely related to the Hebrews in blood and language .
They showed no kindness to the Israelites when passing through their territory ,
and therefore they were prohibited from "
entering the congregation of the Lord to the tenth generation " (
Deut .
23 :
3 ).
They afterwards became hostile to Israel (
Judg .
3 :
13 ).
Jephthah waged war against them ,
and "
took twenty cities with a very great slaughter " (
Judg .
11 :
33 ).
They were again signally defeated by Saul (
1 Sam .
11 :
11 ).
David also defeated them and their allies the Syrians (
2 Sam .
10 :
6 -
14 ),
and took their chief city ,
Rabbah ,
with much spoil (

The national idol worshipped by this people was Molech or Milcom ,
at whose altar they offered human sacrifices (

at the instigation of his Ammonitish wives ,
