Moabite \
Mo "
ab *
ite \,
n .
One of the posterity of Moab ,
the son of Lot . (--
Gen .
xix .
37 .)
Also used adjectively .
[
1913 Webster ]
Moabite the designation of a tribe descended from Moab ,
the son of Lot (
Gen .
19 :
37 ).
From Zoar ,
the cradle of this tribe ,
on the south -
eastern border of the Dead Sea ,
they gradually spread over the region on the east of Jordan .
Rameses II .,
the Pharaoh of the Oppression ,
enumerates Moab (
Muab )
among his conquests .
Shortly before the Exodus ,
the warlike Amorites crossed the Jordan under Sihon their king and drove the Moabites (
Num .
21 :
26 -
30 )
out of the region between the Arnon and the Jabbok ,
and occupied it ,
making Heshbon their capital .
They were then confined to the territory to the south of the Arnon .
On their journey the Israelites did not pass through Moab ,
but through the "
wilderness "
to the east (
Deut .
2 :
8 ;
Judg .
11 :
18 ),
at length reaching the country to the north of the Arnon .
Here they remained for some time till they had conquered Bashan (
see {
SIHON }; {
OG }).
The Moabites were alarmed ,
and their king ,
Balak ,
sought aid from the Midianites (
Num .
22 :
2 -
4 ).
It was while they were here that the visit of Balaam (
q .
v .)
to Balak took place . (
See {
MOSES }.)
After the Conquest ,
the Moabites maintained hostile relations with the Israelites ,
and frequently harassed them in war (
Judg .
3 :
12 -
30 ;
1 Sam .
14 ).
The story of Ruth ,
however ,
shows the existence of friendly relations between Moab and Bethlehem .
By his descent from Ruth ,
David may be said to have had Moabite blood in his veins .
Yet there was war between David and the Moabites (
2 Sam .
8 :
2 ;
23 :
20 ;
1 Chr .
18 :
2 ),
from whom he took great spoil (
2 Sam .
8 :
2 ,
11 ,
12 ;
1 Chr .
11 :
22 ;
18 :
11 ).
During the one hundred and fifty years which followed the defeat of the Moabites ,
after the death of Ahab (
see MESHA �
T0002505 ),
they regained ,
apparently ,
much of their former prosperty .
At this time Isaiah (
15 :
1 )
delivered his "
burden of Moab ,"
predicting the coming of judgment on that land (
comp .
2 Kings 17 :
3 ;
18 :
9 ;
1 Chr .
5 :
25 ,
26 ).
Between the time of Isaiah and the commencement of the Babylonian captivity we have very seldom any reference to Moab (
Jer .
25 :
21 ;
27 :
3 ;
40 :
11 ;
Zeph .
2 :
8 -
10 ).
After the Return ,
it was Sanballat ,
a Moabite ,
who took chief part in seeking to prevent the rebuilding of Jerusalem (
Neh .
2 :
19 ;
4 :
1 ;
6 :
1 ).
