   Josephus expressly states, that five years after the
   destruction of Jerusalem, Nebuchadnezzar turned his arms
   against the Ammonites and Moabites, and entirely subjugated
   them; and it is probable, that the Arabs, and other nations
   east of Judah, then took possession of their cities, and
   enjoyed the fruits of their land.  The country of Moab and
   Ammon is now inhabited by the Bedouin Arabs; where they
   pasture their flocks, and, no doubt, make the ruins of Rabbah,
   their one proud capital, "a stable for camels," and other
   cattle.  See Note on 2; Sa 12:26.
