Chemosh:
(subduer) the national deity of the Moabites (Numbers 21:29; Jeremiah 48:7; 48:13; 48:46). In Judges 11:24, he also appears as the god of the Ammonites. Solomon introduced, and Josiah abolished, the worship of Chemosh at Jerusalem (1 Kings 11:7; 2 Kings 23:13). Also identified with Baal‐peor, Baalzebub, Mars and Saturn.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
