The worship of Chemosh included rituals that were considered abominable by the Israelites, such as child sacrifice. The Moabites believed Chemosh granted them victory in battles and prosperity. Solomon, influenced by his foreign wives, built a high place for Chemosh, which was later destroyed by King Josiah as part of his religious reforms (2 Kings 23:13).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a god of the Moabites<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Chemosh (8).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">כְּמוֺשׁ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a divinity</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>Chemosh</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">כמש</font> MI<sup>3. 5. 9. 12. 13. 14. 18. 19. 32. 23</sup> also <font class="hebrew2">עשתר כמש</font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/1-17.htm">Jeremiah 1:17</a> and proper name, masculine <font class="hebrew2">כמשמלך</font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/1-1.htm">Jeremiah 1:1</a>; Assyrian <i><em>Kammusunadbi,</em></i> a king of Moab Schr<sup>COT i, 281</sup>; = KAT<sup>2, 288</sup>; compare further Bae<sup>Rel 13 f. 238, 256</sup> Nö<sup>ZMG 1888, 471</sup>; <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ξαμώς</font>); — god of the Moabites to whom Solomon erected a high place <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/11-7.htm">1 Kings 11:7,33</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/23-13.htm">2 Kings 23:13</a>; <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/48-7.htm">Jeremiah 48:7</a> (Kt <font class="hebrew2">כמישׁ</font>), <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/48-13.htm">Jeremiah 48:13</a>.
