Sebab itu, sesungguhnya, waktunya akan datang, demikianlah firman TUHAN, bahwa Aku akan memperdengarkan tempik sorak peperangan terhadap Raba bani Amon. Kota itu akan menjadi anak bukit yang tandus, dan kota-kota jajahannya akan dibakar dengan api; maka Israel akan memiliki orang-orang yang dahulu memilikinya, firman TUHAN.
Sebab itu, demikianlah firman Tuhan: Bahwasanya hari akan datang kelak apabila Aku memperdengarkan suatu sorak pedang atas Raba bani Ammon; pada masa itu iapun akan menjadi suatu kerobohan batu dan segala jajahannyapun akan dinyalakan dengan api, dan orang Israel akan menjadi waris orang yang sudah mengambil bahagiannya akan pusaka mereka itu; demikianlah firman Tuhan.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord,.... Or, "are coming" y; as they did, in a very little time after this prophecy:
that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; the metropolis of the Ammonites; it was their royal city in the times of David, 1 Kings 11:1; called by Polybius z Rabbahamana; and by Ptolemy a Philadelphia, which name it had from Ptolemy Philadelphus, who rebuilt it; this the Lord threatens with the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war, or the noise of warriors, as the Targum; the Chaldean army under Nebuchadnezzar, who, about five years after the destruction of Jerusalem, subdued the Ammonites, as Josephus b relates:
and it shall be a desolate heap; be utterly destroyed; its walls broken down, and houses demolished, and made a heap of rubbish: and
her daughters shall be burnt with fire: Rabbah was the mother city, and the other cities of the Ammonites were her daughters, which are threatened to be destroyed with fire by the enemy; or it may mean the villages round about Rabbah, it being usual in Scripture for villages to be called the daughters of cities; see Ezekiel 16:46; so the Targum here paraphrases it,
"the inhabitants of her villages shall be burnt with fire:''
then shall Israel be heirs unto them that were his heirs, saith the Lord: that is, shall inherit their land again, which the Ammonites pretended to be the lawful heirs of; yea, not only possess their own land, but the land of Ammon too: this was fulfilled not immediately upon the destruction of Ammon, but in part upon the return of the Jews from the Babylonish captivity, when they repossessed their own country; and partly in the times of the Maccabees, when they subdued the Ammonites,
"Afterward he passed over to the children of Ammon, where he found a mighty power, and much people, with Timotheus their captain.'' (1 Maccabees 5:6)
and will more fully in the latter day, when the Jews shall be converted, and return to their own land, and the children of Ammon shall obey them, Isaiah 11:14; so Kimchi interprets it; and other Jewish writers understand it of the days of the Messiah, as Abarbinel observes.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Rabbah - i. e., the “great city.” See 2 Samuel 12:27 note for a distinction between Rabbah, the citadel, and the town itself, lying below upon the Jabbok.
Daughters - i. e., unwalled villages (and in Jeremiah 49:3).
Shall Israel be heir ... - i. e., “shall be victor over his victors;” compare Micah 1:15.
