Ben-ammi

The son of Lot and his younger daughter, he is the progenitor of the Ammonite people.

Ben-ammi was born to Lot and his younger daughter following the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. His name, meaning son of my people, identifies him as the ancestor of the Ammonites. His lineage represents a recurring historical and political rival to the nation of Israel throughout the Old Testament.
