Years: 717BCE - 706BCE
The Moabite language differs only dialectally from Hebrew, and Moabite religion and culture are very closely related to those of the Israelites.
Despite these similarities, Moabites are excluded from the Judahite community (Deuteronomy 23:3-6), where the name Moab has become a typical denomination for the enemies of God (Isaiah 25:10).
Moab becomes a tributary of Assyria by the late eighth century BCE.
