Subjects in this Topic:
BEN-AMMI (‘son of my blood-relative’ or ‘son of my father’s kinsman’).—The story (Gen_19:1-38) purports to explain the name Ammon (Gen_19:38). Notwithstanding the fact that incestuous marriages were common amongst these people, it is most likely that the narrative is a product of the bitter hatred which was excited by prolonged contests for the territory E. of Jordan.
