An Iron Age Transjordanian kingdom east of the Dead Sea, famous for the Mesha Stele boasting of victory over Israel; eventually absorbed into Babylonian and then Persian control.
Conquered by the Neo-Babylonian Empire under Nebuchadnezzar II in 582 BCE and reduced to a Babylonian province; the Moabites subsequently disappeared from historical records and their territory was later resettled by Nabataeans.
