Genesis 19:38

Context
19:38 The younger daughter also gave birth to a son and named him Ben-Ammi. 1  He is the ancestor of the Ammonites of today.

1 sn The name Ben-Ammi means “son of my people.” Like the account of Moab’s birth, this story is probably included in the narrative to portray the Ammonites, another perennial enemy of Israel, in a negative light.
