The Moabites, an ancient people mentioned in various biblical accounts, have left a lasting mark on history and religious texts. In 2 Chronicles 20:22-23, we witness the destruction of the armies of the Ammonites and Moabites through Gustave Dore's powerful engraving. This event showcases their defeat at the hands of divine intervention. Another significant moment involving the Moabites is depicted in Jeremiah XLVIII:46. The engraving portrays their capture and subsequent captivity, highlighting their role as adversaries to God's chosen people. One cannot discuss the Moabites without mentioning Lot's wife. As she looks back at Sodom and Gomorrah against divine instruction, she transforms into a pillar of salt—a haunting reminder of disobedience and its consequences. Interestingly, Belphegor, a demonic figure associated with evil in Numbers 25:3, was worshipped by the Moabites according to French wood engravings from the 19th century. This connection sheds light on their spiritual beliefs during that time. Elisha's miraculous act of resurrecting a deceased man using his bones further emphasizes the significance attributed to prophets among both Israelites and neighboring peoples like the Moabites. Genesis presents us with another depiction of Lot's wife turning into a pillar of salt—an illuminating manuscript illustration that captures this pivotal moment in vivid detail. In battles throughout Old Testament narratives, such as "Moabites Subdued, " we see these ancient combatants portrayed as fierce warriors engaged in intense conflict during the 13th century BC. Lastly, when Melchizedek blesses Abraham while Lot and his family observe (Genesis 14), it serves as a reminder that even amidst strife between nations like Israel and Moab, there are moments where unity can be found through shared experiences or blessings bestowed upon individuals connected to both sides.
