Animated GIF          (GIF89a) A variant of the {GIF}       {image} format, often used on {World-Wide Web} pages to       provide moving {icons} and banners.          The GIF89a format supports multiple "frames" that give the       impression of motion when displayed in sequence, much like a       flip book.   The animation may repeat continuously or play       once.          Animated GIFs aren't supported by earlier {web browsers},       however the first frame of the image is still shown.          There are many utilities to create animated GIFs from a       sequence of individual GIF files.   There are also utilities       that will produce animated GIFs automatically from a piece of       text or a single image.          One problem with this format is the size of the files       produced, as they are by definition a sequence of individual       images.   Apart from minimising the number of frames, the best       way to decrease file size is to assist the {LZW} compression       by using blocks of solid colour, avoid {dithering}, and use       fewer colours.   If areas of an image don't change from one       frame to another, they don't need to be redrawn so make the       area a transparent block in the second frame.          (1999-08-01)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Ammonite       the usual name of the descendants of Ammon, the son of Lot (Gen.       19:38). From the very beginning (Deut. 2:16-20) of their history       till they are lost sight of (Judg. 5:2), this tribe is closely       associated with the Moabites (Judg. 10:11; 2 Chr. 20:1; Zeph.       2:8). Both of these tribes hired Balaam to curse Israel (Deut.       23:4). The Ammonites were probably more of a predatory tribe,       moving from place to place, while the Moabites were more       settled. They inhabited the country east of the Jordan and north       of Moab and the Dead Sea, from which they had expelled the       Zamzummims or Zuzims (Deut. 2:20; Gen. 14:5). They are known as       the Beni-ammi (Gen. 19:38), Ammi or Ammon being worshipped as       their chief god. They were of Semitic origin, and closely       related to the Hebrews in blood and language. They showed no       kindness to the Israelites when passing through their territory,       and therefore they were prohibited from "entering the       congregation of the Lord to the tenth generation" (Deut. 23:3).       They afterwards became hostile to Israel (Judg. 3:13). Jephthah       waged war against them, and "took twenty cities with a very       great slaughter" (Judg. 11:33). They were again signally       defeated by Saul (1 Sam. 11:11). David also defeated them and       their allies the Syrians (2 Sam. 10:6-14), and took their chief       city, Rabbah, with much spoil (2 Sam. 10:14; 12:26-31). The       subsequent events of their history are noted in 2 Chr. 20:25;       26:8; Jer. 49:1; Ezek. 25:3, 6. One of Solomon's wives was       Naamah, an Ammonite. She was the mother of Rehoboam (1 Kings       14:31; 2 Chr. 12:13).                The prophets predicted fearful judgments against the Ammonites       because of their hostility to Israel (Zeph. 2:8; Jer. 49:1-6;       Ezek. 25:1-5, 10; Amos 1:13-15).                The national idol worshipped by this people was Molech or       Milcom, at whose altar they offered human sacrifices (1 Kings       11:5, 7). The high places built for this idol by Solomon, at the       instigation of his Ammonitish wives, were not destroyed till the       time of Josiah (2 Kings 23:13).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Anoint       The practice of anointing with perfumed oil was common among the       Hebrews. (1.) The act of anointing was significant of       consecration to a holy or sacred use; hence the anointing of the       high priest (Ex. 29:29; Lev. 4:3) and of the sacred vessels (Ex.       30:26). The high priest and the king are thus called "the       anointed" (Lev. 4:3, 5, 16; 6:20; Ps. 132:10). Anointing a king       was equivalent to crowning him (1 Sam. 16:13; 2 Sam. 2:4, etc.).       Prophets were also anointed (1 Kings 19:16; 1 Chr. 16:22; Ps.       105:15). The expression, "anoint the shield" (Isa. 21:5), refers       to the custom of rubbing oil on the leather of the shield so as       to make it supple and fit for use in war.                (2.) Anointing was also an act of hospitality (Luke 7:38, 46).       It was the custom of the Jews in like manner to anoint       themselves with oil, as a means of refreshing or invigorating       their bodies (Deut. 28:40; Ruth 3:3; 2 Sam. 14:2; Ps. 104:15,       etc.). This custom is continued among the Arabians to the       present day.                (3.) Oil was used also for medicinal purposes. It was applied       to the sick, and also to wounds (Ps. 109:18; Isa. 1:6; Mark       6:13; James 5:14).                (4.) The bodies of the dead were sometimes anointed (Mark       14:8; Luke 23:56).                (5.) The promised Deliverer is twice called the "Anointed" or       Messiah (Ps. 2:2; Dan. 9:25, 26), because he was anointed with       the Holy Ghost (Isa. 61:1), figuratively styled the "oil of       gladness" (Ps. 45:7; Heb. 1:9). Jesus of Nazareth is this       anointed One (John 1:41; Acts 9:22; 17:2, 3; 18:5, 28), the       Messiah of the Old Testament.
