Some time later, the Ammonites fought against Israel.When the Ammonites made war with Israel, the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob.They said to him,“ Come, be our commander, and let’s fight against the Ammonites.”Jephthah replied to the elders of Gilead,“ Didn’t you hate me and drive me from my father’s house? Why then have you come to me now when you’re in trouble?”They answered Jephthah,“ Since that’s true, we now turn to you. Come with us, fight the Ammonites, and you will become leader of all the inhabitants of Gilead.”So Jephthah said to them,“ If you are bringing me back to fight the Ammonites and the Lord gives them to me, I will be your leader.”The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah,“ The Lord is our witness if we don’t do as you say.”So Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead. The people put him over themselves as leader and commander, and Jephthah repeated all his terms in the presence of the Lord at Mizpah.Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites, saying,“ What do you have against me that you have come to fight against me in my land?”The king of the Ammonites said to Jephthah’s messengers,“ When Israel came from Egypt, they seized my land from the Arnon to the Jabbok and the Jordan. Now restore it peaceably.”Jephthah again sent messengers to the king of the Ammonitesto tell him,“ This is what Jephthah says: Israel did not take away the land of Moab or the land of the Ammonites.But when they came from Egypt, Israel traveled through the wilderness to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh.Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying,‘ Please let us travel through your land,’ but the king of Edom would not listen. They also sent messengers to the king of Moab, but he refused. So Israel stayed in Kadesh.“ Then they traveled through the wilderness and around the lands of Edom and Moab. They came to the east side of the land of Moab and camped on the other side of the Arnon but did not enter into the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was the boundary of Moab.“ Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, king of Heshbon. Israel said to him,‘ Please let us travel through your land to our country,’but Sihon would not trust Israel to pass through his territory. Instead, Sihon gathered all his people, camped at Jahaz, and fought with Israel.Then the Lord God of Israel handed over Sihon and all his people to Israel, and they defeated them. So Israel took possession of the entire land of the Amorites who lived in that country.They took possession of all the territory of the Amorites from the Arnon to the Jabbok and from the wilderness to the Jordan.“ The Lord God of Israel has now driven out the Amorites before His people Israel, and will you now force us out?Isn’t it true that you may possess whatever your god Chemosh drives out for you, and we may possess everything the Lord our God drives out before us?Now are you any better than Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever contend with Israel or fight against them?While Israel lived 300 years in Heshbon and its villages, in Aroer and its villages, and in all the cities that are on the banks of the Arnon, why didn’t you take them back at that time?I have not sinned against you, but you have wronged me by fighting against me. Let the Lord who is the Judge decide today between the Israelites and the Ammonites.”But the king of the Ammonites would not listen to Jephthah’s message that he sent him.The Spirit of the Lord came on Jephthah, who traveled through Gilead and Manasseh, and then through Mizpah of Gilead. He crossed over to the Ammonites from Mizpah of Gilead.Jephthah made this vow to the Lord:“ If You will hand over the Ammonites to me,whatever comes out of the doors of my house to greet me when I return in peace from the Ammonites will belong to the Lord, and I will offer it as a burnt offering.”Jephthah crossed over to the Ammonites to fight against them, and the Lord handed them over to him.He defeated 20 of their cities with a great slaughter from Aroer all the way to the entrance of Minnith and to Abel-keramim. So the Ammonites were subdued before the Israelites.

Some time later the king of the Ammonites died, and his son Hanun became king in his place.Then David said,“ I’ll show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, just as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent his emissaries to console Hanun concerning his father. However, when they arrived in the land of the Ammonites,the Ammonite leaders said to Hanun their lord,“ Just because David has sent men with condolences for you, do you really believe he’s showing respect for your father? Instead, hasn’t David sent his emissaries in order to scout out the city, spy on it, and demolish it?”So Hanun took David’s emissaries, shaved off half their beards, cut their clothes in half at the hips, and sent them away.When this was reported to David, he sent someone to meet them, since they were deeply humiliated. The king said,“ Stay in Jericho until your beards grow back; then return.”When the Ammonites realized they had become repulsive to David, they hired 20,000 foot soldiers from the Arameans of Beth-rehob and Zobah, 1,000 men from the king of Maacah, and 12,000 men from Tob.David heard about it and sent Joab and all the fighting men.The Ammonites marched out and lined up in battle formation at the entrance to the city gate while the Arameans of Zobah and Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were in the field by themselves.When Joab saw that there was a battle line in front of him and another behind him, he chose some men out of all the elite troops of Israel and lined up in battle formation to engage the Arameans.He placed the rest of the forces under the command of his brother Abishai who lined up in battle formation to engage the Ammonites.“ If the Arameans are too strong for me,” Joab said,“ then you will be my help. However, if the Ammonites are too strong for you, I’ll come to help you.Be strong! We must prove ourselves strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May the Lord’s will be done.”Joab and his troops advanced to fight against the Arameans, and they fled before him.When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they too fled before Abishai and entered the city. So Joab withdrew from the attack against the Ammonites and went to Jerusalem.

About the Ammonites, this is what the Lord says: Does Israel have no sons? Is he without an heir? Why then has Milcom dispossessed Gad and his people settled in their cities?Therefore look, the days are coming— this is the Lord’s declaration— when I will make the shout of battle heard against Rabbah of the Ammonites. It will become a desolate mound, and its villages will be burned down. Israel will dispossess their dispossessors, says the Lord.Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is devastated; cry out, daughters of Rabbah! Clothe yourselves with sackcloth, and lament; run back and forth within your walls, because Milcom will go into exile together with his priests and officials.Why do you brag about your valleys, your flowing valley, you faithless daughter? You who trust in your treasures and boast,“ Who can attack me?”Look, I am about to bring terror on you— this is the declaration of the Lord God of Hosts— from all those around you. You will be banished, each man headlong, with no one to gather up the fugitives.But after that, I will restore the fortunes of the Ammonites. This is the Lord’s declaration.

After this, the Moabites and Ammonites, together with some of the Meunites, came to fight against Jehoshaphat.
