Moab
Moab (ancient kingdom east of the Dead Sea)
Moab was an ancient kingdom located east of the Dead Sea, in what is now modern-day Jordan. It was inhabited by the Moabites, who were descendants of Lot, the nephew of Abraham. The Moabites are frequently mentioned in the Bible, often in relation to the Israelites. The relationship between the two peoples was complex, marked by both conflict and cooperation. Notably, Ruth, the Moabite woman who became the great-grandmother of King David, is a key figure in this narrative, illustrating the intertwined destinies of the Moabites and Israelites.
