and OF THE Ammonites (The former is the more accurate, the Hebrew being in both cases; רִבִּת בְּנֵי עִמּוֹן ; Sept. Ἄκρα Τῶν Υἱῶν Ἀμμών , ῾Ραββὰθ Υἱῶν Ἀμμών ; Vulg. Rabbath Filiorum Ammon. ) This is the full appellation of the place commonly given as RABBAH (See Rabbah) (q.v.). It occurs only in  Deuteronomy 3:11 and  Ezekiel 21:20. The Th is merely the Hebrew "construct state," or mode of connecting a word ending in Ah with one followving it. (See Gibeath); (See Kirjath); (See Ramath), etc.
