Verse Meaning

Later, however, Yahweh would restore the fortunes of the Ammonites. This occurred briefly after the Exile. Tobiah was a Persian governor of Ammon during the postexilic period (cf. Nehemiah 2:10; Nehemiah 2:19; Nehemiah 4:7). But restoration of this region will also take place in the Millennium (cf. Jeremiah 46:26-28; Jeremiah 48:47).

Nebuchadnezzar brought the Ammonites under his authority when he advanced into Palestine in605 B.C. After that, Ammon proved disloyal to Babylon in594 B.C. ( Jeremiah 27:3) and in589 B.C. ( Ezekiel 21:18-32). King Baalis of Ammon had some part in the assassination of Gedaliah ( Jeremiah 40:13 to Jeremiah 41:15). Because of these acts of unfaithfulness, Nebuchadnezzar invaded Ammon, as well as Moab and Judah, in581 B.C. ^[1] This weakened Ammon so much that Arab tribes were able to destroy her, along with Moab and Edom. By the middle of the sixth century B.C, Ammon had ceased to exist as an independent nation.

Some reasons for Yahweh"s judgment on Ammon were her military aggression ( Jeremiah 49:1) and her proud trust in her geographical situation and her treasures ( Jeremiah 49:4).
