The Ammonites (sons of Ammon) according to the Bible
originated because of an incestuous relationship between Lot
(Abraham's nephew) and his younger daughter (Gen 19:38). Archaeology
reveals that the Ammonites dwelt east of the Jordan River and
settled there at the beginning of the 13th century B.C.
