Strong's Lexicon Ammon: Ammon Original Word: עַמּוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עַם (am), meaning "people" or "nation." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Ammon" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the term is specific to the Hebrew context. However, the Greek Septuagint uses transliterations or equivalent terms when referring to the Ammonites. Usage: The term "Ammon" refers to the descendants of Ammon, the son of Lot by his younger daughter, as recorded in Genesis 19:38. The Ammonites were a people group often in conflict with the Israelites throughout the Old Testament. Cultural and Historical Background: The Ammonites were a Semitic people who lived east of the Jordan River, in what is now modern-day Jordan. Their capital was Rabbah, known today as Amman. The Ammonites worshiped the god Milcom or Molech, and their culture was closely related to that of the Moabites, their neighbors and kin. The Ammonites frequently opposed Israel, leading to numerous conflicts, including during the reigns of Saul, David, and Jephthah.
