Ammon and Ammonites

The Ammonites were the inhabitants of the kingdom of Ammon, situated to the east of Israel with Rabbath-Ammon as its capital. The Ammonites were related to the Israelites and their language was not so different to Hebrew. They came into conflict with the Israelites, which is why they do not have a good name in the Bible. In Genesis 19:30-38, for example, the story is told of their patriarch Benammi’s incestuous conception by Lot with one of his daughters.
