1 Chronicles 11:39
39 Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Berothite, the armourbearer of Joab the son of Zeruiah,
1 Chr. 11:39. "Zelek the Ammonite." Here one of David's worthies is said to be an 'Ammonite,' and another of them (verse 1 Chronicles 11:46) a Moabite, and yet in Deuteronomy 23:3 it is forbidden in the Law of Moses that an Ammonite or Moabite should ever enter into the congregation of the Lord. So Ruth was a Moabitess, but yet was received. By this it appears that evident piety prevailed for persons' admission notwithstanding the Law. When the case was so, they were no longer Ammonites or Moabites in the eye of the Law. By these things and many others, it appears that evangelical qualifications always prevailed over legal ones. So in the case of them that were legally unclean, that yet kept the Passover in Hezekiah's time. (2 Chronicles 30:17-20)
