1. Concerning the Ammonites:Thus says the Lord: Does Israel have no sons?Or has he no heirs?Why then does their king inherit Gadand his people dwell in his cities?
2. Therefore, surely the days are coming,says the Lord,when I will cause an alarm of warto be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites;and it will be a desolate heap,and her towns will be burned with fire.Then Israel will be heirto those who were his heirs,says the Lord.
