Jeremiah 49:2 “2 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them that were his heirs, saith the Lord.”
Which was fulfilled by King David’s complete conquest of the city:
2 Samuel 12
“26 And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.
28 Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.
29 And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
30 And he took their king’s crown from off his head, the weight whereof was a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was set on David’s head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.
31 And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem”
Matthew Henry’s commentary has much more regarding these passages for the interested reader and is a good starting point for learning the viewpoints that were generally held by good scholars up until his time, the 18th century.
They include the various known and respected historical alternative interpretations, if verses had more than one, as of the 18th century.
Henry’s commentaries are a really wonderful study guide.
I would suggest you read them, of course, for Psalm 83 as well.
My post #15 is completely wrong (and nonsensical). I was reading elsewhere, not from Henry’s commentaries.
King David’s conquering was obviously not the fulfillment of of Jeremiah 48-49; the attacks of the Chaldeans.
My mistake, responding too fast without carefully reading.
Post #11 has part of Henry’s commentary on Jer. 48.
