'''Ammon''' Hebrew '''עַמּוֹן''' were  people living east of the [[Jordan river]] who according to [[Genesis]] were descended from [[Abraham]]'s nephew [[Lot]]. The main kingdom was east of [[Gilead]]. While the ancient Hebrews regarded the Ammonites as closely related, the two groups were frequently at war and conflict with the Ammonites was one reason the Hebrews decided to form a unified kingship under [[Saul]](See 1 Samuel 11 and 12). It is not clear what happened to the Ammonites although comments by [[Justin Martyr]] indicate that some group identified as Ammonite existed until as late as the first century A.D.
