The Moabites

Coming in a later age

The Moabites descended from Lot and lived east of the Dead Sea. Ruth, the great-grandmother of David, was a Moabite.

The story

In the days of the judges, King Eglon of Moab ruled over Israel for a time.

Ruth the Moabite chose to stay with Naomi: your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.

“When the older daughter gave birth to a son, she named him Moab. He became the ancestor of the nation now known as the Moabites.”Genesis 19:37 NLT
“Once again the Israelites did evil in the Lord’s sight, and the Lord gave King Eglon of Moab control over Israel because of their evil.”Judges 3:12 NLT
“But Ruth replied, “Don’t ask me to leave you and turn back. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.”Ruth 1:16 NLT

In the game

The Moabites come in the age of the Conquest. Foreigners can join the people of God, as Ruth did.
