Moab: Destined to be slain since 1900 B.C.

Need to know

You know the Bible? Not so kind to Moab.

Take the guy, Moab, for instance. His father, Lot, was also his grandfather. Yikes.

And once the Moabites really got going, it doesn't seem they stood a chance in the Old Testament.

Numbers 21:29
"Woe unto thee, Moab!"

Jeremiah 48:28,38
"O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock..."

"There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the Lord."

Ezekiel 25:11
"And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am the Lord."

Amos 2:2
"But I will send a fire upon Moab..."

Judges 3:29
"And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man."
