Deuteronomy 2:20 וְהָֽעַמֹּנִ֔ים and the Ammonites

(That too was regarded as the land of the Rephaim, who used to live there, though the Ammonites called them Zamzummites.

Deuteronomy 23:3 עַמּוֹנִ֛י an Ammonite

No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, even to the tenth generation.

Here: A member of the people of Ammon, Israel's neighbour east of the Jordan, around modern Amman. The form is masculine singular and names a typical member of the nation. Whether it also covers women became a real later dispute.

1 Samuel 11:1 הָֽעַמּוֹנִ֔י the Ammonite

Then Nahash the Ammonite came up and laid siege to Jabesh-gilead. All the men of Jabesh said to him, “Make a treaty with us, and we will serve you.”

Here: He is identified by his people, the Ammonites, whose capital was Rabbah (modern Amman). They were a long-standing rival over Gilead (Judges 10–11) and, in Israelite tradition, distant kin through Lot (Genesis 19:38).

1 Samuel 11:2 הָעַמּוֹנִ֔י the Ammonite

But Nahash the Ammonite replied, “I will make a treaty with you on one condition, that I may put out everyone’s right eye and bring reproach upon all Israel.”

2 Samuel 23:37 הָעַמֹּנִ֑י ס the Ammonite

Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Beerothite, the armor-bearer of Joab son of Zeruiah,

1 Kings 11:1 עַמֳּנִיּוֹת֙ Ammonite [women]

King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh—women of Moab, Ammon, Edom, and Sidon, as well as Hittite women.

Here: Women from Ammon, across the Jordan. Deuteronomy 23:3 excludes Ammonites too. Solomon's heir Rehoboam was the son of Naamah the Ammonite (14:21), and the Ammonite god Milcom is named in 11:5.

1 Kings 11:5 עַמֹּנִֽים׃ [the] Ammonites

Solomon followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians and Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

Here: The people of Ammon, Israel's neighbours and frequent enemies east of the Jordan. Solomon's son and heir Rehoboam was born to an Ammonite mother (1 Kings 14:21).

1 Kings 14:21 הָעַמֹּנִֽית׃ the Ammonite [woman]

Meanwhile, Rehoboam son of Solomon reigned in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel in which to put His Name. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite.

1 Kings 14:31 הָעַמֹּנִ֑ית the Ammonite [woman]

And Rehoboam rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David; his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite. And his son Abijam reigned in his place.

Here: She came from Ammon, east of the Jordan, the people whose god Milcom Solomon's foreign wives drew him to worship (11:1, 5, 33). Repeating her origin here quietly ties Rehoboam's reign to that foreign influence.

1 Chronicles 11:39 הָעַמּוֹנִ֑י the Ammonite

Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Beerothite, the armor-bearer of Joab son of Zeruiah,

2 Chronicles 12:13 הָֽעַמֹּנִֽית׃ the Ammonite [woman]

Thus King Rehoboam established himself in Jerusalem and reigned. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel in which to put His Name. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite.

Here: She came from Ammon, east of the Jordan. This places her among the foreign wives Solomon was faulted for (1 Kings 11:1), and the verse ends on her just before 'he did evil' in v.14.

2 Chronicles 20:1 מֵֽהָעַמּוֹנִ֛ים some of the Ammonites

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

2 Chronicles 24:26 הָֽעַמּוֹנִ֔ית the Ammonite [woman]

Those who conspired against Joash were Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonitess and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the Moabitess.

2 Chronicles 26:8 הָֽעַמּוֹנִ֛ים the Ammonites

The Ammonites brought tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread as far as the border of Egypt, for he had become exceedingly powerful.

Ezra 9:1 הָֽעַמֹּנִי֙ the Ammonite[s]

After these things had been accomplished, the leaders approached me and said, “The people of Israel, including the priests and Levites, have not kept themselves separate from the surrounding peoples whose abominations are like those of the Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians, and Amorites.

Here: A real, living neighbour east of the Jordan. Deuteronomy 23:3–6 bars Ammonites from 'the assembly of the LORD'. Nehemiah's opponent was 'Tobiah the Ammonite' (Nehemiah 2:10; 13:1–3, 23).

Nehemiah 2:10 הָֽעַמֹּנִ֔י the Ammonite

But when Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official heard about this, they were deeply disturbed that someone had come to seek the well-being of the Israelites.

Here: This ties Tobiah to Ammon, the land east of the Jordan. For a reader of Deuteronomy 23:3–6 the word was loaded, since Ammonites were barred from Israel's assembly. Nehemiah later applies that very law to Tobiah (13:1–9).

Nehemiah 2:19 הָֽעַמּוֹנִ֗י the Ammonite

But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite official, and Geshem the Arab heard about this, they mocked us and ridiculed us, saying, “What is this you are doing? Are you rebelling against the king?”

Here: Ties Tobiah to the region east of the Jordan. For Nehemiah's readers the word carried the weight of Deuteronomy 23:3, which excludes Ammonites from the assembly, a text Nehemiah later quotes (13:1–2).

Nehemiah 4:3 הָעַמֹּנִ֖י the Ammonite

Then Tobiah the Ammonite, who was beside him, said, “If even a fox were to climb up on what they are building, it would break down their wall of stones!”

Nehemiah 4:7 וְהָעַמֹּנִ֜ים and the Ammonites

When Sanballat and Tobiah, together with the Arabs, Ammonites, and Ashdodites, heard that the repair to the walls of Jerusalem was progressing and that the gaps were being closed, they were furious,

Here: The people east of the Jordan, around modern Amman. They were Israel's old rivals, and Tobiah's power base.

Nehemiah 13:1 עַמֹּנִ֧י an Ammonite

At that time the Book of Moses was read aloud in the hearing of the people, and in it they found the passage stating that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever enter the assembly of God,

Here: A member of Ammon, the people east of the Jordan around modern Amman. The word is singular and masculine but stands for the whole group. Later rabbis read the masculine form as covering men only.

Nehemiah 13:23 עַמֳּנִיּ֖וֹת Ammonite

In those days I also saw Jews who had married women from Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab.

Here: Women from Ammon, east of the Jordan. These are the people Deut 23:3 bars from 'the assembly of the LORD,' a passage read aloud in 13:1. Tobiah 'the Ammonite' (2:10; 13:4–8) gives the word a sharp local edge.
