The Ammonites were driven from the rich lands near the Jordan and retreated to the mountains and valleys to the east. [14] The invasion of the Amorites created a wedge and separated the two kingdoms of Ammon and Moab. [12] Throughout the Bible, the Ammonites and the Israelites are portrayed as mutual antagonists.
The Bible attests Milcom as playing the role of the Ammonites' chief state god in parallel to Yahweh's role in Israel or Chemosh's role in Moab. [8] [5] Given that the Bible refers to Milcom having been worshiped by royal sanction in Jerusalem, it is possible that he was also worshiped as a native rather than a foreign god in Israel. [9]

The following is a list of rulers currently known from the history of the ancient Levantine kingdom Ammon. Ammon was originally ruled by a king, called the "king of the children of Ammon" ( Ammonite : 𐤌𐤋𐤊 𐤁𐤍𐤏𐤌𐤍 maleḵ banīʿAmān ; Hebrew : מֶלֶךְ בְּנֵי עַמֹּון meleḵ bənē-ʿAmmōn ).
The next time the name is mentioned is in the account of David's war, who made the Moabites tributary (2 Samuel 8:2; 1 Chronicles 18:2). Moab may have been under the rule of an Israelite governor during this period; among the exiles who returned to Judea from Babylonia were a clan descended from Pahath-Moab , whose name means "ruler of Moab".
Ammonite is the extinct Canaanite language of the Ammonite people mentioned in the Bible, who used to live in modern-day Jordan, and after whom its capital Amman is named. Only fragments of their language survive—chiefly the 9th century BC Amman Citadel Inscription , [ 1 ] the 7th–6th century BC Tel Siran bronze bottle , and a few ostraca .
Many ammonoids probably lived in the open water of ancient seas, rather than at the sea bottom, because their fossils are often found in rocks laid down under conditions where no bottom-dwelling life is found. In general, they appear to have inhabited the upper 250 metres (820 ft) of the water column. [33]
Beginning in the Garden of Eden as a deceiving serpent, the concept of divination and a brazen, shining figure are also possible in the translation exercise. If viewing Genesis 1:14-19 as it relates to ancient cosmology, the Genesis 3:1 serpent may be seen as a shining heavenly being too.
