Ammon (Modern Amman, Jordan)
Another nation descended from Lot frequently feuded with Israel. Its capital, Rabbah, featured prominently in biblical accounts. The name faded under Assyrian dominance in the 7th century BCE, evolving through Hellenistic “Philadelphia” into the Arabic “Amman.” No,w Jordan’s bustling capital city, Amman, spreads across hills where ancient citadels overlook modern urban sprawl, connecting past and present.
