Ezek 21:28 : 28 And thou, son{H1121} of man{H120}, prophesy{H5012}{(H8734)} and say{H559}{(H8804)}, Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069} concerning the Ammonites{H1121}{H5983}, and concerning their reproach{H2781}; even say{H559}{(H8804)} thou, The sword{H2719}, the sword{H2719} is drawn{H6605}{(H8803)}: for the slaughter{H2874} it is furbished{H4803}{(H8803)}, to consume{H398}{(H8687)} because of the glittering{H1300}:
Deut 2:19 : 19 And when thou comest nigh{H7126}{(H8804)} over against{H4136} the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983}, distress{H6696}{(H8799)} them not, nor meddle{H1624}{(H8691)} with them: for I will not give{H5414}{(H8799)} thee of the land{H776} of the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} any possession{H3425}; because I have given{H5414}{(H8804)} it unto the children{H1121} of Lot{H3876} for a possession{H3425}.

Judg 10:7-9 : 7 And the anger{H639} of the LORD{H3068} was hot{H2734}{(H8799)} against Israel{H3478}, and he sold{H4376}{(H8799)} them into the hands{H3027} of the Philistines{H6430}, and into the hands{H3027} of the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983}. 8 And that year{H8141} they vexed{H7492}{(H8799)} and oppressed{H7533}{(H8779)} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}: eighteen{H8083}{H6240} years{H8141}, all the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} that were on the other side{H5676} Jordan{H3383} in the land{H776} of the Amorites{H567}, which is in Gilead{H1568}. 9 Moreover the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} passed over{H5674}{(H8799)} Jordan{H3383} to fight{H3898}{(H8736)} also against Judah{H3063}, and against Benjamin{H1144}, and against the house{H1004} of Ephraim{H669}; so that Israel{H3478} was sore{H3966} distressed{H3334}{(H8799)}.
Judg 11:15-28 : 15 And said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} Jephthah{H3316}, Israel{H3478} took not away{H3947}{(H8804)} the land{H776} of Moab{H4124}, nor the land{H776} of the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983}: 16 But when Israel{H3478} came up{H5927}{(H8800)} from Egypt{H4714}, and walked{H3212}{(H8799)} through the wilderness{H4057} unto the Red{H5488} sea{H3220}, and came{H935}{(H8799)} to Kadesh{H6946}; 17 Then Israel{H3478} sent{H7971}{(H8799)} messengers{H4397} unto the king{H4428} of Edom{H123}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Let me, I pray thee, pass through{H5674}{(H8799)} thy land{H776}: but the king{H4428} of Edom{H123} would not hearken{H8085}{(H8804)} thereto. And in like manner they sent{H7971}{(H8804)} unto the king{H4428} of Moab{H4124}: but he would{H14}{(H8804)} not consent: and Israel{H3478} abode{H3427}{(H8799)} in Kadesh{H6946}. 18 Then they went along{H3212}{(H8799)} through the wilderness{H4057}, and compassed{H5437}{(H8799)} the land{H776} of Edom{H123}, and the land{H776} of Moab{H4124}, and came{H935}{(H8799)} by the east side{H4217}{H8121} of the land{H776} of Moab{H4124}, and pitched{H2583}{(H8799)} on the other side{H5676} of Arnon{H769}, but came{H935}{(H8804)} not within the border{H1366} of Moab{H4124}: for Arnon{H769} was the border{H1366} of Moab{H4124}. 19 And Israel{H3478} sent{H7971}{(H8799)} messengers{H4397} unto Sihon{H5511} king{H4428} of the Amorites{H567}, the king{H4428} of Heshbon{H2809}; and Israel{H3478} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Let us pass{H5674}{(H8799)}, we pray thee, through thy land{H776} into{H5704} my place{H4725}. 20 But Sihon{H5511} trusted{H539}{(H8689)} not Israel{H3478} to pass{H5674}{(H8800)} through his coast{H1366}: but Sihon{H5511} gathered{H622} all his people{H5971} together{H622}{(H8799)}, and pitched{H2583}{(H8799)} in Jahaz{H3096}, and fought{H3898}{(H8735)} against Israel{H3478}. 21 And the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of Israel{H3478} delivered{H5414}{(H8799)} Sihon{H5511} and all his people{H5971} into the hand{H3027} of Israel{H3478}, and they smote{H5221}{(H8686)} them: so Israel{H3478} possessed{H3423}{(H8799)} all the land{H776} of the Amorites{H567}, the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of that country{H776}. 22 And they possessed{H3423}{(H8799)} all the coasts{H1366} of the Amorites{H567}, from Arnon{H769} even unto Jabbok{H2999}, and from the wilderness{H4057} even unto Jordan{H3383}. 23 So now the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of Israel{H3478} hath dispossessed{H3423}{(H8689)} the Amorites{H567} from before{H6440} his people{H5971} Israel{H3478}, and shouldest thou possess{H3423}{(H8799)} it? 24 Wilt not thou possess{H3423}{(H8799)} that which Chemosh{H3645} thy god{H430} giveth thee to possess{H3423}{(H8686)}? So whomsoever the LORD{H3068} our God{H430} shall drive out{H3423}{(H8689)} from before{H6440} us, them will we possess{H3423}{(H8799)}. 25 And now art thou any thing better{H2896} than Balak{H1111} the son{H1121} of Zippor{H6834}, king{H4428} of Moab{H4124}? did he ever{H7378}{(H8800)} strive{H7378}{(H8804)} against Israel{H3478}, or did he ever{H3898}{(H8736)} fight{H3898}{(H8738)} against them, 26 While Israel{H3478} dwelt{H3427}{(H8800)} in Heshbon{H2809} and her towns{H1323}, and in Aroer{H6177} and her towns{H1323}, and in all the cities{H5892} that be along by the coasts{H3027} of Arnon{H769}, three{H7969} hundred{H3967} years{H8141}? why therefore did ye not recover{H5337}{(H8689)} them within that time{H6256}? 27 Wherefore I have not sinned{H2398}{(H8804)} against thee, but thou doest{H6213}{(H8802)}{H853} me wrong{H7451} to war{H3898}{(H8736)} against me: the LORD{H3068} the Judge{H8199}{(H8802)} be judge{H8199}{(H8799)} this day{H3117} between the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} and the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983}. 28 Howbeit the king{H4428} of the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} hearkened{H8085}{(H8804)} not unto the words{H1697} of Jephthah{H3316} which he sent{H7971}{(H8804)} him.
1 Sam 11:1-2 : 1 Then Nahash{H5176} the Ammonite{H5984} came up{H5927}{(H8799)}, and encamped{H2583}{(H8799)} against Jabeshgilead{H3003}{H1568}: and all the men{H582} of Jabesh{H3003} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Nahash{H5176}, Make{H3772}{(H8798)} a covenant{H1285} with us, and we will serve{H5647}{(H8799)} thee. 2 And Nahash{H5176} the Ammonite{H5984} answered{H559}{(H8799)} them, On this{H2063} condition will I make{H3772}{(H8799)} a covenant with you, that I may thrust out{H5365}{(H8800)} all your right{H3225} eyes{H5869}, and lay{H7760}{(H8804)} it for a reproach{H2781} upon all Israel{H3478}.
2 Sam 10:1-8 : 1 And it came to pass after this{H310}, that the king{H4428} of the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} died{H4191}{(H8799)}, and Hanun{H2586} his son{H1121} reigned{H4427}{(H8799)} in his stead. 2 Then said{H559}{(H8799)} David{H1732}, I will shew{H6213}{(H8799)} kindness{H2617} unto Hanun{H2586} the son{H1121} of Nahash{H5176}, as his father{H1} shewed{H6213}{(H8804)} kindness{H2617} unto me. And David{H1732} sent{H7971}{(H8799)} to comfort{H5162}{(H8763)} him by the hand{H3027} of his servants{H5650} for his father{H1}. And David's{H1732} servants{H5650} came{H935}{(H8799)} into the land{H776} of the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983}. 3 And the princes{H8269} of the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Hanun{H2586} their lord{H113}, Thinkest{H5869} thou that David{H1732} doth honour{H3513}{(H8764)} thy father{H1}, that he hath sent{H7971}{(H8804)} comforters{H5162}{(H8764)} unto thee? hath not David{H1732} rather sent{H7971}{(H8804)} his servants{H5650} unto thee, to{H5668} search{H2713}{(H8800)} the city{H5892}, and to spy it out{H7270}{(H8763)}, and to overthrow{H2015}{(H8800)} it? 4 Wherefore Hanun{H2586} took{H3947}{(H8799)} David's{H1732} servants{H5650}, and shaved off{H1548}{(H8762)} the one half{H2677} of their beards{H2206}, and cut off{H3772}{(H8799)} their garments{H4063} in the middle{H2677}, even to their buttocks{H8357}, and sent them away{H7971}{(H8762)}. 5 When they told{H5046}{(H8686)} it unto David{H1732}, he sent{H7971}{(H8799)} to meet{H7125}{(H8800)} them, because the men{H582} were greatly{H3966} ashamed{H3637}{(H8737)}: and the king{H4428} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Tarry{H3427}{(H8798)} at Jericho{H3405} until your beards{H2206} be grown{H6779}{(H8762)}, and then return{H7725}{(H8804)}. 6 And when the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} that they stank{H887}{(H8738)} before David{H1732}, the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} sent{H7971}{(H8799)} and hired{H7936}{(H8799)} the Syrians{H758} of Bethrehob{H1050}, and the Syrians{H758} of Zoba{H6678}, twenty{H6242} thousand{H505} footmen{H7273}, and of king{H4428} Maacah{H4601} a thousand{H505} men{H376}, and of Ishtob{H382} twelve{H6240}{H8147} thousand{H505} men{H376}. 7 And when David{H1732} heard{H8085}{(H8799)} of it, he sent{H7971}{(H8799)} Joab{H3097}, and all the host{H6635} of the mighty men{H1368}. 8 And the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} came out{H3318}{(H8799)}, and put the battle{H4421} in array{H6186}{(H8799)} at the entering in{H6607} of the gate{H8179}: and the Syrians{H758} of Zoba{H6678}, and of Rehob{H7340}, and Ishtob{H382}, and Maacah{H4601}, were by themselves{H905} in the field{H7704}.
2 Kgs 24:2 : 2 And the LORD{H3068} sent{H7971}{(H8762)} against him bands{H1416} of the Chaldees{H3778}, and bands{H1416} of the Syrians{H758}, and bands{H1416} of the Moabites{H4124}, and bands{H1416} of the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983}, and sent{H7971}{(H8762)} them against Judah{H3063} to destroy{H6}{(H8687)} it, according to the word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068}, which he spake{H1696}{(H8765)} by{H3027} his servants{H5650} the prophets{H5030}.
2 Chr 20:1 : 1 It came to pass after this{H310} also, that the children{H1121} of Moab{H4124}, and the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983}, and with them other beside the Ammonites{H5984}, came{H935}{(H8804)} against Jehoshaphat{H3092} to battle{H4421}.
2 Chr 20:10 : 10 And now, behold, the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} and Moab{H4124} and mount{H2022} Seir{H8165}, whom thou wouldest not let{H5414}{(H8804)} Israel{H3478} invade{H935}{(H8800)}, when they came out{H935}{(H8800)} of the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714}, but they turned{H5493}{(H8804)} from them, and destroyed{H8045}{(H8689)} them not;
Neh 2:19 : 19 But when Sanballat{H5571} the Horonite{H2772}, and Tobiah{H2900} the servant{H5650}, the Ammonite{H5984}, and Geshem{H1654} the Arabian{H6163}, heard{H8085}{(H8799)} it, they laughed us to scorn{H3932}{(H8686)}, and despised{H959}{(H8799)} us, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, What is this thing{H1697} that ye do{H6213}{(H8802)}? will ye rebel{H4775}{(H8802)} against the king{H4428}?
Neh 4:7-9 : 7 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat{H5571}, and Tobiah{H2900}, and the Arabians{H6163}, and the Ammonites{H5984}, and the Ashdodites{H796}, heard{H8085}{(H8804)} that the walls{H2346} of Jerusalem{H3389} were made up{H724}{H5927}{(H8804)}, and that the breaches{H6555}{(H8803)} began{H2490}{(H8689)} to be stopped{H5640}{(H8736)}, then they were very{H3966} wroth{H2734}{(H8799)}, 8 And conspired{H7194}{(H8799)} all of them together{H3162} to come{H935}{(H8800)} and to fight{H3898}{(H8736)} against Jerusalem{H3389}, and to hinder{H6213}{(H8800)}{H8442} it. 9 Nevertheless we made our prayer{H6419}{(H8691)} unto our God{H430}, and set{H5975}{(H8686)} a watch{H4929} against them day{H3119} and night{H3915}, because{H6440} of them. 10 And Judah{H3063} said{H559}{(H8799)}, The strength{H3581} of the bearers of burdens{H5449} is decayed{H3782}{(H8804)}, and there is much{H7235}{(H8687)} rubbish{H6083}; so that we are not able{H3201}{(H8799)} to build{H1129}{(H8800)} the wall{H2346}. 11 And our adversaries{H6862} said{H559}{(H8799)}, They shall not know{H3045}{(H8799)}, neither see{H7200}{(H8799)}, till we come{H935}{(H8799)} in the midst{H8432} among{H8432} them, and slay{H2026}{(H8804)} them, and cause the work{H4399} to cease{H7673}{(H8689)}. 12 And it came to pass, that when the Jews{H3064} which dwelt{H3427}{(H8802)} by them{H681} came{H935}{(H8804)}, they said{H559}{(H8799)} unto us ten{H6235} times{H6471}, From all places{H4725} whence ye shall return{H7725}{(H8799)} unto us they will be upon you. 13 Therefore set{H5975}{(H8686)} I in the lower{H8482} places{H4725} behind{H310} the wall{H2346}, and on the higher places{H6706}{(H8675)}{H6708}, I even set{H5975}{(H8686)} the people{H5971} after their families{H4940} with their swords{H2719}, their spears{H7420}, and their bows{H7198}. 14 And I looked{H7200}{(H8799)}, and rose up{H6965}{(H8799)}, and said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the nobles{H2715}, and to the rulers{H5461}, and to the rest{H3499} of the people{H5971}, Be not ye afraid{H3372}{(H8799)} of them{H6440}: remember{H2142}{(H8798)} the Lord{H136}, which is great{H1419} and terrible{H3372}{(H8737)}, and fight{H3898}{(H8734)} for your brethren{H251}, your sons{H1121}, and your daughters{H1323}, your wives{H802}, and your houses{H1004}. 15 And it came to pass, when our enemies{H341}{(H8802)} heard{H8085}{(H8804)} that it was known{H3045}{(H8738)} unto us, and God{H430} had brought{H6565} their counsel{H6098} to nought{H6565}{(H8686)}, that we returned{H7725}{(H8799)} all of us to the wall{H2346}, every one{H376} unto his work{H4399}. 16 And it came to pass from that time{H3117} forth, that the half{H2677} of my servants{H5288} wrought{H6213}{(H8802)} in the work{H4399}, and the other half{H2677} of them held{H2388}{(H8688)} both the spears{H7420}, the shields{H4043}, and the bows{H7198}, and the habergeons{H8302}; and the rulers{H8269} were behind{H310} all the house{H1004} of Judah{H3063}. 17 They which builded{H1129}{(H8802)} on the wall{H2346}, and they that bare{H5375}{(H8802)} burdens{H5447}, with those that laded{H6006}{(H8802)}, every one with one{H259} of his hands{H3027} wrought{H6213}{(H8802)} in the work{H4399}, and with the other{H259} hand held{H2388}{(H8688)} a weapon{H7973}. 18 For the builders{H1129}{(H8802)}, every one{H376} had his sword{H2719} girded{H631}{(H8803)} by his side{H4975}, and so builded{H1129}{(H8802)}. And he that sounded{H8628}{(H8802)} the trumpet{H7782} was by me{H681}. 19 And I said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the nobles{H2715}, and to the rulers{H5461}, and to the rest{H3499} of the people{H5971}, The work{H4399} is great{H7235}{(H8687)} and large{H7342}, and we are separated{H6504}{(H8737)} upon the wall{H2346}, one{H376} far from{H7350} another{H251}. 20 In what place{H4725} therefore ye hear{H8085}{(H8799)} the sound{H6963} of the trumpet{H7782}, resort{H6908}{(H8735)} ye thither unto us: our God{H430} shall fight{H3898}{(H8735)} for us. 21 So we laboured{H6213}{(H8802)} in the work{H4399}: and half{H2677} of them held{H2388}{(H8688)} the spears{H7420} from the rising{H5927}{(H8800)} of the morning{H7837} till the stars{H3556} appeared{H3318}{(H8800)}. 22 Likewise at the same time{H6256} said{H559}{(H8804)} I unto the people{H5971}, Let every one{H376} with his servant{H5288} lodge{H3885}{(H8799)} within{H8432} Jerusalem{H3389}, that in the night{H3915} they may be a guard{H4929} to us, and labour{H4399} on the day{H3117}. 23 So neither I, nor my brethren{H251}, nor my servants{H5288}, nor the men{H582} of the guard{H4929} which followed{H310} me, none of us{H587} put off{H6584}{(H8802)} our clothes{H899}, saving that every one{H376} put them off{H7973} for washing{H4325}.
