Apr 2, 2019 · 2. A man came to my home and said that scriptures got the name bible from a prostitution city called Byblos near Tyre. He said that Byblos means "city of bastards" and it was deceptively put on the bible by some as mockery because Mary was with child without a human husband. Here is what I found from Wikipedia.

The main source of our knowledge about the Ammonites comes from their enemies, the Israelites, and must be understood as written from a point of view that is often hostile. Records from other middle eastern sources are scarce. The Ammonites themselves left few if any records that shed information on their history. According to the pedigree given in Book of Genesis 19:37-38, the Ammonites were closely related to the Israelites and still more closely to their neighbors to the south, the Moabite...
Ammon vs. the Israelites
After leaving Egypt, the Israelites reportedly discovered the Amoriteking Sihon in possession of Gilead, the country on the east bank of the Jordan, to the north of the Arnon river (Numbers 21:13).After defeating Sihon, the Israelites claimed the land as theirs. The Ammonites, however, did not accept either Sihon's or Israel's right to this land. In the resulting warfare, the Iraelites drove the Ammonites across the upper waters of the Jabbok river, where it flows from south to north, which c...
Ammon vs. Saul and David
In the days of the the prophet Samuel, the Ammonite leader Nahash besieged the town of Jabesh-Gilead, east of the Jordan. This prompted its inhabitants to call on "Israel" for aid. The incident became the impetus behind the unification of the tribes under Saul, who defeated the Ammonites and was thus confirmed as king (1 Samuel 11:11-14). In Samuel's, "farewell speech," he indicates that it was the threat of aggression from Nahash that prompted Israel to ask him for a king (1 Samuel 12:12). F...
The frequent assumption that, living on the borders of the desert, the Ammonites remained more pastoral than the Moabites and Israelites, seems to be unfounded (Ezek. 25:4, 2 Chron. 27:5). The environs of Rabbah, at least, were fertile and were tilled. In regard to other cities than Rabbah, see Judges, 11:33; 2 Sam. 12:31. In modern times, ruined t...
Of the customs, religion, and social structure of the Ammonites, little is known. From the names of their kings, it seems logical that the cult of the Baals probably coexisted in Ammon with that of El. Both Israelite and Ammonite names contain the theorphoric "el" syllable, and a few Israelite names contain "bal" or "baal." The name of theAmmonite ...

1. Name. According to Genesis 19:38 Lot’s younger daughter gave birth to a child by her own father and named him Ben-’Ammī. He was the ancestor of the Ammonites.

As reflected in Biblical etiologies connecting to Esau ( Genesis 25:25, 30 ), Edom refers to the mountainous “red” land of sandstone, granite and soil east of the Arabah, extending south of the Zered (modern Wadi Hasa) to the Gulf of Aqaba. Along with the closely associated place-name Seir (cf. Genesis 36:8–9, 21 ), Edom appears in ...
