📚 Historical Context

The Ammonites were descendants of Lot (Abraham's nephew) who lived east of the Jordan River. They had a long history of conflict with Israel, often taking advantage when Israel was spiritually weak or politically divided. This attack occurred during the period of the judges, when Israel repeatedly fell into cycles of sin, oppression, repentance, and deliverance.
