* Concerning the Ammonites , thus hath the LORD said : Does Israel have no sons ? does he have no heir ? why [then ] does their king inherit Gad and his people dwell in his cities ? * Therefore , behold , the days come , said the LORD , that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites ; and it shall be [made ] a desolate heap , and her cities shall be burned with fire ; then shall Israel be heir unto those that were his heirs , said the LORD . * Howl , O Heshbon , for Ai is spoiled ; cry , ye daughters of Rabbah , gird yourselves with sackcloth ; lament and run to and fro by the hedges , for their king shall go into captivity , [and ] his priests and his princes together . * Why gloriest thou in the valleys ? Thy valley has slipped , O backsliding daughter that trusted in her treasures , she that saith , Who shall come against me ? * Behold , I bring fear upon thee , saith the Lord GOD of the hosts , from all sides ; and ye shall be driven out each man right forth in the direction he is facing ; and no one shall gather up him that wanders . * And afterward I will turn again the captivity of the sons of Ammon , said the LORD .
