TSNTyndale Study Notes:

1:13 Israel regarded the people of Ammon as kin who also betrayed them. The Ammonites (like the Moabites, 2:1) were descendants of Lot, Abraham’s nephew (Gen 19:37-38). Ammon had been a constant threat to Gilead (see Judg 10:7-9).
• In ancient times, conquering armies commonly ripped open pregnant women (2 Kgs 8:12; 15:16; Hos 13:16); they also raped the women and slaughtered the children of the towns they seized (Isa 13:16, 18; Lam 5:11; Hos 10:14; 13:16; Nah 3:10; Zech 14:2).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) For three sins of … even for four

(Some words not found in UHB: thus he/it_had_said YHWH on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in three transgressions sons_of Ammon and,for four not revoke,him on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in ripped_open,they pregnant the,Gilead in_order_to enlarge DOM territory,their )

This is a poetic device. It does not mean that a specific number of sins had been committed, but indicates that many sins had led to God’s judgment. See how you translated these words in Amos 1:3.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

(Occurrence 0) I will not turn away punishment

(Some words not found in UHB: thus he/it_had_said YHWH on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in three transgressions sons_of Ammon and,for four not revoke,him on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in ripped_open,they pregnant the,Gilead in_order_to enlarge DOM territory,their )

Yahweh uses two negatives here to emphasize that he would punish them. See how you translated these words in Amos 1:3.

(Occurrence 0) enlarge their borders

(Some words not found in UHB: thus he/it_had_said YHWH on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in three transgressions sons_of Ammon and,for four not revoke,him on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in ripped_open,they pregnant the,Gilead in_order_to enlarge DOM territory,their )

Alternate translation: “extend their boundaries” or “expand their territory”
