This passage deals with the rebellion of Ammon (vv. 1-6). The Ammonites descended from Benjamin, son of Lot and like the Moabites they were a product of incest (Gen. 19:38). They occupied the territory east of the Jordan River and north of Moab, between the Amnon and Jabbok rivers. Ammon had taken possession of the land belonging to the Israelite tribe of Gad and his people were living in these towns. Rabbah was the capital of Ammon. During Jehoshaphat’s reign, the Ammonites invaded Judah (II Chron. 20:1-30).
The people of Israel have plenty of children to inherit the lands (v. 1). Many worshipers of the God Milcom have taken over towns and land belonging to the tribe of Gad. Someday an army will attack Rabbah, the capital city, and it will be left in ruins (v. 2). One day Israel’s land was taken and now theirs will be taken. Heshbon will become a pile of rubble (v. 3,). Jeremiah tells the people of Rabbah to put on sackcloth and morn because their idol worship will be taken to another country, as well as the priests and temple officials. The rebellious Ammonites trust in their wealth and don’t think anyone could attack them, but they are warned about their boasting (v. 4). The Lord will send neighboring nations to strike and scatter them (v. 5). The Lord says that someday He will bring the people back home (v. 6), not because of their merits but because they share in the glories of Israel.
