Moab (Moab)
East of the Dead Sea, the nation descended from Lot through his elder daughter. Israel and Moab went back and forth between enemies and kin: Balak hired Balaam to curse Israel, and yet Ruth, a Moabite, became King David's great-grandmother. King Mesha's own inscription on the Moabite Stone records the wars with Israel that 2 Kings describes.

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. The Moabite Stone, a ninth-century BC inscription by King Mesha of Moab, independently confirms the Moab-Israel conflicts described in 2 Kings.
