MOAB - M>@ - (of his father), Mo’abites. Moab was the son of the Lot’s eldest daughter, the progenitor of the Moabites. Zoar was the cradle of the race of Lot. From this centre the brother tribes spread themselves. The Moabites first inhabited the rich highlands which crown the eastern side of the chasm of the Dead Sea, extending as far north as the mountain of Gilead, from which country they expelled the Emims, the original inhabitants, (2:11) but they themselves were afterward driven southward by the warlike Amorites, who had crossed the Jordan, and were confined to the country south of the river Arnon, which formed their northern boundary. kjv@Numbers:21:13; kjv@Judges:11:18) The territory occupied by Moab at the period of its greatest extent, before the invasion of the Amorites, divided itself naturally into three distinct and independent portions:

(1) The enclosed corner or canton south of the Arnon was the "field of Moab." kjv@Ruth:1:1-2 kjv@Ruth:1:6) etc.

(2) The more open rolling country north of the Arnon, opposite Jericho, and up to the hills of Gilead, was the "land of Moab." (1:5; 32:49) etc.

(3) The sunk district in the tropical depths of the Jordan valley. kjv@Numbers:22:1) etc. The Israelites, in entering the promised land, did not pass through the Moabites, kjv@Judges:11:18) but conquered the Amorites, who occupied the country from which the Moabites had been so lately expelled. After the conquest of Canaan the relations of Moab with Israel were of a mixed character, sometimes warlike and sometimes peaceable. With the tribe of Benjamin they had at least one severe struggle, in union with their kindred the Ammonites. kjv@Judges:3:12-30) The story of Ruth, on the other hand, testifies to the existence of a friendly intercourse between Moab and Bethlehem, one of the towns of Judah. By his descent from Ruth, David may be said to have had Moabite blood in his veins. He committed his parents to the protection of the king of Moab, when hard pressed by Saul. ( kjv@1Samuel:22:3-4) But here all friendly relations stop forever. The next time the name is mentioned is in the account of David’s war, who made the Moabites tributary. (2 Samuel kjv@8:2; 1Chronicles:18:2) At the disruption of the kingdom Moab seems to have fallen to the northern realm. At the death of Ahab the Moabites refused to pay tribute and asserted their independence, making war upon the kingdom of Judah. ( kjv@2Chronicles:22:1) ... As a natural consequence of the late events, Israel, Judah and Edom united in an attack on Moab, resulting in the complete overthrow of the Moabites. Falling back into their own country, they were followed and their cities and farms destroyed. Finally, shut up within the walls of his own capital, the king, Mesha, in the sight of the thousands who covered the sides of that vast amphitheater, killed and burnt his child as a propitiatory sacrifice to the cruel gods of his country. Isaiah, chs. Isaiah:15-16,25:10-12) predicts the utter annihilation of the Moabites; and they are frequently denounced by the subsequent prophets. For the religion of the Moabites see CHEMOSH; MOLECH; PEOR.
See also Tristram’s "Land of Moab." Present condition.
(Noldeke says that the extinction of the Moabites was about A.D. 200, at the time when the Yemen tribes Galib and Gassara entered the eastern districts of the Jordan. Since A.D. 536 the last trace of the name Moab, which lingered in the town of Kir-moab, has given place to Kerak , its modern name. Over the whole region are scattered many ruins of ancient cities; and while the country is almost bare of larger vegetation, it is still a rich pasture-ground, with occasional fields of grain. The land thus gives evidence of its former wealth and power.

MOABITE STONE, THE - M>@ - In the year 1868 Rev. F. Klein, of the Church Missionary Society at Jerusalem, found at Dhiban (the biblical Dibon), in Moab, a remarkable stone, since called the Moabite Stone. It was lying on the ground, with the inscription uppermost, and measures about 3 feet 9 inches long, 2 feet 4 inches wide and 1 foot 2 inches thick. It is a very heavy, compact black basalt. An impression was made of the main block, and of certain recovered parts broken off by the Arabs. It was broken by the Arabs, but the fragments were purchased by the French government for 32,000 francs, and are in the Louvre in Paris. The engraved face is about the shape of an ordinary gravestone, rounded at the top. On this stone is the record in the Phoenician characters of the wars of Mesha, king of Moab, with Israel. ( kjv@2Kings:3:4) It speaks of King Omri and other names of places and persons mentioned in the Bible, and belongs to this exact period of jewish and Moabite history. The names given on the Moabite Stone, engraved by one who knew them in daily life, are, in nearly every case, identical with those found in the Bible itself, and testify to the wonderful integrity with which the Scriptures have been preserved. "The inscription reads like a leaf taken out of a lost book of Chronicles. The expressions are the same; the names of gods, kings and of towns are the same."

easton:

Moab @ the seed of the father, or, according to others, the desirable land, the eldest son of Lot kjv@Genesis:19:37), of incestuous birth.

(2.) Used to denote the people of Moab kjv@Numbers:22:3-14; kjv@Judges:3:30; kjv@2Samuel:8:2; kjv@Jeremiah:48:11-13).

(3.) The land of Moab kjv@Jeremiah:48:24), called also the "country of Moab" kjv@Ruth:1:2 kjv@Ruth:1:6 kjv@Ruth:2:6), on the east of Jordan and the Dead Sea, and south of the Arnon kjv@Numbers:21:13 kjv@Numbers:21:26). In a wider sense it included the whole region that had been occupied by the Amorites. It bears the modern name of Kerak. In the Plains of Moab, opposite Jericho kjv@Numbers:22:1 kjv@Numbers:26:63; kjv@Joshua:13:32), the children of Israel had their last encampment before they entered the land of Canaan. It was at that time in the possession of the Amorites kjv@Numbers:21:22). "Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah," and "died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord" kjv@Deuteronomy:34:5-6). "Surely if we had nothing else to interest us in the land of Moab, the fact that it was from the top of Pisgah, its noblest height, this mightiest of the prophets looked out with eye undimmed upon the Promised Land; that it was here on Nebo, its loftiest mountain, that he died his solitary death; that it was here, in the valley over against Beth-peor, he found his mysterious sepulchre, we have enough to enshrine the memory in our hearts."

Moabite @ the designation of a tribe descended from Moab, the son of Lot kjv@Genesis: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 kjv@Numbers: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 kjv@Deuteronomy:2:8; kjv@Judges: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 kjv@Numbers: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 kjv@Judges:3:12-30; 1Samuel: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 ( kjv@2Samuel:8:2 kjv@2Samuel:23:20; kjv@1Chronicles:18:2), from whom he took great spoil ( kjv@2Samuel:8:2 kjv@2Samuel:8:11, 12; kjv@1Chronicles:11:22 kjv@1Chronicles:18:11). During the one hundred and fifty years which followed the defeat of the Moabites, after the death of Ahab (see MESHA), 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. kjv@2Kings:17:3 kjv@2Kings:18:9; kjv@1Chronicles:5:25-26). Between the time of Isaiah and the commencement of the Babylonian captivity we have very seldom any reference to Moab kjv@Jeremiah:25:21 kjv@Jeremiah:27:3 kjv@Jeremiah:40:11 ; kjv@Zephaniah:2:8-10). After the Return, it was Sanballat, a Moabite, who took chief part in seeking to prevent the rebuilding of Jerusalem kjv@Nehemiah:2:19 kjv@Nehemiah:4:1 kjv@Nehemiah:6:1 ).

Moabite Stone @ a basalt stone, bearing an inscription by King Mesha, which was discovered at Dibon by Klein, a German missionary at Jerusalem, in 1868. It was 3 1/2 feet high and 2 in breadth and in thickness, rounded at the top. It consisted of thirty-four lines, written in Hebrew
- Phoenician characters. It was set up by Mesha as a record and memorial of his victories. It records

(1) Mesha's wars with Omri,

(2) his public buildings, and

(3) his wars against Horonaim. This inscription in a remarkable degree supplements and corroborates the history of King Mesha recorded in kjv@2Kings:3:4-27. With the exception of a very few variations, the Moabite language in which the inscription is written is identical with the Hebrew. The form of the letters here used supplies very important and interesting information regarding the history of the formation of the alphabet, as well as, incidentally, regarding the arts of civilized life of those times in the land of Moab. This ancient monument, recording the heroic struggles of King Mesha with Omri and Ahab, was erected about B.C. 900. Here "we have the identical slab on which the workmen of the old world carved the history of their own times, and from which the eye of their contemporaries read thousands of years ago the record of events of which they themselves had been the witnesses." It is the oldest inscription written in alphabetic characters, and hence is, apart from its value in the domain of Hebrew antiquities, of great linguistic importance.
