ExplanationCommentary
Verse 1. Of the Ammonites; people sprung from them. Those who explain the Psalm 82 of this war, find many nations mentioned. Some of these, not daring to appear openly, assumed the name of Ammonites. Perhaps we should read ( Calmet.) Mannim. Bible.—Septuagint “the Mineans,” who dwelt in Arabia Felix, upon the Red Sea, (Pliny vi. 28.) or rather the Maonians, in the environs of Gaza. Calmet.—Some MSS. and Latin editions have “Idumeans,” which is conformable to verse 11, 23, and S. Jerom Trad. Lyran, and so forth Menochius.
The LXX reads Meunites . Hebrew reads Ammonites .
