Moab (Moabite living at the time of the Patriarchs)
Moab was a nation east of the Dead Sea descended from Lot through the incestuous union with his elder daughter, and Israel's relationship with Moab swung between hostility, as when Balak hired Balaam to curse them, and close kinship, as in the story of Ruth, a Moabite woman who became King David's great-grandmother.
