Judges Othniel, Ehud, Shamgar dealt
with Moabites, Ammonites and philistines...(Halley's)
The Moabites were descendants of Lot.
The occupied the tableland east of the Dead Sea. Their god Chemosh,
was worshiped by human sacrifice. They had many wars with Israel.
The Ammonites were also descendants of
Lot. Their territory was next to Moab, beginning about 30 miles east
of the Jordan. Their god, called Molech, was worshiped by the burning
of little children. Moab and Ammon, the ancestors of these two
nations, were the product of an incestuous relationship. (Gen. 19:
30-38).
The Amalekites were descendants of
Esau.They were a nomadic tribe, centered mainly in the northern part
pof the Sinai peninsula but roaming in wider circles, even into Judah
and far to the east. They were the first to attack Israel after their
departure from Egypt. Moses authorized their extinction (Exodus
17:8-16). They have disappeared from history.
Shamgar of whom little is known, saved
Israel from the Philistines. The Philistines were descendants of Ham.
They occupied the Coastal plain between modern Tel Aviv and Gaza, and
they again oppressed Israel in Samson's day.
Gideon delivered Israel from these
nations (peoples) Midianites, Amalekites, and Arabians
Midianites were nomadic descendants of
Abraham and Keturah (Gen. 25:1-6) Their main center was in Arabia,
just east of the Red Sea, but they roamed far and wide. Moses had
live among them for forty years and married one of them (Exodus
2:15-21) Gradually they were absorbed into the Arabians.
The Arabians were descendants of
Ishmael (Gen. 16). Arabia was the great peninsula (1,500 miles north
and south, 800 east and west) that is today Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
It was sparsely inhabited by wandering tribes.
