Questions on Jeremiah 49:
Who are Heshbon, Ai, Molech and Rabbah and the Ammonites?
Or just a better understanding on Chapter 49.
Many thanks! Michelle 
Heshbon = city on the Ammonite and Moabite border - constantly contested between the two - it is near where Mt Nebo is on the Jordanian side of the Dead Sea.
Ammonites = decendants of Ben-ammi, Lot's youngest son - they worshiped Molech
Rabbah = chief city of Ammon - east of the southern Jordan river where it enters the Dead Sea over in Jordan - Perhaps Ammon, Jordan (Capital of Jordan)
Molech = Ammonites worshiped this god - major worship was child sacrifice with fire
Ai = Another city of Ammon - refered to in other places as Aiath
Oh yes, I know that nasty Molech now that you remind me. Thanks for the help! I want to make it all practical for today so my mind can get the deep rooted history that is there and how to see it in today's headlines.
Thank you! Michelle
I'm the same way Michelle, if you do not understand the history and geography, then it is way more difficult to try to understand scripture. I have several study Bibles I use to help me.
