A Prophecy About Ammon

49 Concerning the people of Ammon, this is what the Lord says:

Has Israel no sons?
Has he no heir?
Why then does Milcom[a] possess Gad?
Why do his people live in Israel’s cities?
Watch, the days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will sound a battle cry against Rabbah of the Ammonites,
and it will become a desolate heap.
Her villages will be burned down,
and then Israel will possess those who possessed him,
declares the Lord.
