Reduction and Enlargement: Harold Bloom's Mormons - FARMS Review The Ammon story is a "narrative analogy" for the David story and is clearly intended as such in the text—you are supposed to see the connection between the Ammon story and the Goliath narrative and if you think the connection is one of plagiarism you just don't understand biblical narrative. Ammon, the shepherd, refuses the worldly ambitions that are the consuming passions of David's life, who puts down his staff to take up the sword. This explains Lamoni's response when he hears of Ammon's exploits: he fears it is the Great Spirit punishing them "because of their murders" (Alma 18:2); the king is as guilty as the thieves, for the thieves have no fear of appearing in the palace (Alma 19:21-22). farms.byu.edu /display.php?table=review&id=114   (4699 words)

Pastor John's House.com The nations called Moab and Ammon are considered together because the men, Moab and Ammon, were brothers, children of incest involving Lot and his two daughters (Gen.19).

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Israel The tribes directly related to Lot were those of Moab and Ammon, of which the former established itself east of the Dead Sea, and the latter settled on the eastern side of the Amorrhite kingdom which extended between the Arnom and the Jeboc. It thus appears that the Israelites of old claimed actual kinship with some of the most powerful nations of the East, although the nearness or remoteness of this kinship cannot be determined at the present day. According to the Biblical classification of the descendants of Noe (Genesis 10), it is clear that the semitic group included the Arabs, Babylonians, Assyrians, Arameans, and Hebrews, to which peoples modern ethnographers add, chiefly on linguistic grounds, the Phoenicians and Chanaaneans. www.newadvent.org /cathen/08193a.htm   (6992 words)

Supplements for Preparing Gospel Doctrine Lessons in Hebrew We learn something of Ammon's teaching skills, power and authority as he follows the spirit and likewise, takes the king back to the creation and progresses forward as prophecies were fulfilled and are still being anticipated. In the Book of Mormon's accounts of rescues and unusual service, Ammon takes the opportunity afforded him because of his service to the king, to take the King back to the thing he believed, (the great spirit) and then brings him forward to an understanding of whom the "great spirit" was.
