“Does Israel have no sons?
    Does he have no heir?
Why then has Milcom^[a] taken possession of Gad,
    and his people settled in its towns?
² Therefore, look, the time is^[b] coming,”
    declares the Lord,
“when I’ll cause a battle cry to be heard in
    Rabbah^[c] of the Ammonites.
It will become a desolate mound,
    and its towns will be burned with fire.
Israel will take possession of those who possessed him,”
    says the Lord.
