Deuteronomy 23:3-5

3 aNo Ammonite or Moabite may enter the assembly of the Lord. Even to the tenth generation, none of them may enter the assembly of the Lord forever, 4 bbecause they did not meet you with bread and with water on the way, when you came out of Egypt, and because they chired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of dMesopotamia, to curse you. 5But the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam; instead the Lord your God turned ethe curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loved you.

1 Kings 11:1

Solomon Turns from the Lord

1Now fKing Solomon loved many foreign women, along with the daughter of Pharaoh: Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women,

1 Kings 11:5-7

5For Solomon went after gAshtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after hMilcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 6So Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and did not wholly follow the Lord, as David his father had done. 7Then Solomon built a high place for iChemosh the abomination of Moab, and for jMolech the abomination of the Ammonites, on the mountain east of Jerusalem.

Nehemiah 4:3

3 kTobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, “Yes, what they are buildinglif a fox goes up on it he will break down their stone wall!”

7

Nehemiah 13:1-3

Nehemiah’s Final Reforms

1On that day othey read from the Book of Moses in the hearing of the people. And in it was found written pthat no Ammonite or Moabite should ever enter the assembly of God, 2for they did not meet the people of Israel with bread and water, but hired Balaam against them to curse them—yet our God turned the curse into a blessing. 3As soon as the people heard the law, qthey separated from Israel all rthose of foreign descent.
