==In the Bible==
According to the [[Hebrew Bible]], the worship of this god, "the abomination of Moab," was introduced at [[Jerusalem]] by [[Solomon]] (1 Kings 11:7), but was abolished by [[Josiah]] (2 Kings 23:13). (Eleventh-century Jewish commentator [[Rashi]] quotes a tradition that Solomon's wives built the temples to Chemosh and other deities, and that Solomon is considered responsible for not stopping them.)<ref>See Rashi on 1 Kings 11:7 [http://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/15895#showrashi=true]</ref> On the [[Mesha Stele|Moabite stone]], [[Mesha]] (2 Kings 3:5) ascribed his victories over the king of Israel to this god, "and Chemosh drove him out from before me."<ref>''Jewish Encyclopedia'' (1906), "[http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/10899-moabite-stone Moabite Stone]."</ref>

According to [[Morris Jastrow, Jr.]] and [[George Aaron Barton]] in the ''[[Jewish Encyclopedia]]'',<ref>Entry for "Chemosh" [http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/4296-chemosh]</ref>{{quote|The national god of the Moabites. He became angry with his people and permitted them to become the vassals of Israel; his anger passed, he commanded Mesha to fight against Israel, and Moabitish independence was reestablished (Moabite Stone, lines 5, 9, 14 et seq.). A king in the days of Sennacherib was called "Chemoshnadab" ("K. B." ii. 90 et seq. ; see Jehonadab). Chemosh was a god associated with the Semitic mother-goddess [[Ashtar-Chemosh|Ashtar]], whose name he bears (Moabite Stone, line 17; compare Barton, "Semitic Origins," iv.). Peake wrongly holds that Ashtar-Chemosh was a deity distinct from Chemosh, while Moore and Bäthgen (''Beiträge zur Semitischen Religionsgeschichte'', p. 14) regard "Ashtar" in this name as equivalent to "[[Astarte]]," who they believe was worshipped in the temple of Chemosh. Whatever differences of conception may have attached to the god at different shrines, there is no adequate reason for doubting the substantial identity of the gods to whom these various names were applied. Hosea ix. 10 is proof that at some period (according to Wellhausen, at the time of the prophet himself) the impure cult of the Semitic goddess was practised at [[Baal]]-[[Heresy of Peor|peor]] (compare Wellhausen, ''Kleine Prophetell''; Nowack's Commentary; and G. A. Smith, ''Twelve Prophets,'' ad loc.). Chemosh, therefore, was in general a deity of the same nature as [[Baal]]. On critical occasions a [[human sacrifice]] was considered necessary to secure his favor (compare II Kings iii. 27), and when deliverance came, a sanctuary might be built to him (Moabite Stone, line 3). An ancient poem, twice quoted in the Old Testament (Num. xxi. 27-30; Jer. xlviii. 45, 46), regards the Moabites as the children of Chemosh, and also calls them "the people of Chemosh".}}

The name of the father of [[Mesha]], ''Chemosh-melek'' ("Chemosh is Malik" or "Chemosh is king"; compare Moabite Stone, line 1), indicates the possibility that Chemosh and Malik (or [[Moloch]]) were one and the same deity. [[Book of Judges]] 11:24 has been thought by some to be a proof of this, since it speaks of Chemosh as the god of the [[Ammon]]ites, while Moloch is elsewhere their god (compare [[Books of Kings|1 Kings]] 11:7, 33). Solomon is said to have built a sanctuary to Chemosh on the Mount of Olives (I Kings 11:7, 33), which was maintained till the reform of Josiah (II Kings 23:13). This movement by Solomon was no doubt to some extent a political one, but it made the worship of Chemosh a part of the religious life of Israel for nearly 400 years.

*[[Harry Turtledove]]'s short [[alternate history]] story "Occupation Duty" (collected in ''Atlantis and Other Places'' anthology) features a society where Chemoshism survived to the present day, and the popular image of Chemosh has apparently metamorphosed into something akin to Yahweh.

He became angry with his people and permitted them to become the vassals of Israel; his anger passed, he commanded Mesha to fight against Israel, and Moabitish independence was reestablished (Moabite Stone, lines 5, 9, 14 et seq.). A king in the days of Sennacherib was called "Chemoshnadab" ("K. B." ii. 90 et seq. ; see Jehonadab). Chemosh was a god associated with the Semitic mother-goddess [[Ashtar-Chemosh|Ashtar]], whose name he bears (Moabite Stone, line 17; compare Barton, "Semitic Origins," iv.). Peake wrongly holds that Ashtar-Chemosh was a deity distinct from Chemosh, while Moore and Bäthgen (''Beiträge zur Semitischen Religionsgeschichte'', p. 14) regard "Ashtar" in this name as equivalent to "[[Astarte]]," who they believe was worshipped in the temple of Chemosh. Whatever differences of conception may have attached to the god at different shrines, there is no adequate reason for doubting the substantial identity of the gods to whom these various names were applied. Hosea ix. 10 is proof that at some period (according to Wellhausen, at the time of the prophet himself) the impure cult of the Semitic goddess was practised at [[Baal]]-[[Heresy of Peor|peor]] (compare Wellhausen, ''Kleine Prophetell''; Nowack's Commentary; and G. A. Smith, ''Twelve Prophets,'' ad loc.). Chemosh, therefore, was in general a deity of the same nature as [[Baal]]. On critical occasions a [[human sacrifice]] was considered necessary to secure his favor (compare II Kings iii. 27), and when deliverance came, a sanctuary might be built to him (Moabite Stone, line 3). An ancient poem, twice quoted in the Old Testament (Num. xxi. 27-30; Jer. xlviii. 45, 46), regards the Moabites as the children of Chemosh, and also calls them "the people of Chemosh".}} The name of the father of [[Mesha]], ''Chemosh-melek'' ("Chemosh is Malik" or "Chemosh is king"; compare Moabite Stone, line 1), indicates the possibility that Chemosh and Malik (or [[Moloch]]) were one and the same deity. [[Book of Judges]] 11:24 has been thought by some to be a proof of this, since it speaks of Chemosh as the god of the [[Ammon]]ites, while Moloch is elsewhere their god (compare [[Books of Kings|1 Kings]] 11:7, 33). Solomon is said to have built a sanctuary to Chemosh on the Mount of Olives (I Kings 11:7, 33), which was maintained till the reform of Josiah (II Kings 23:13). This movement by Solomon was no doubt to some extent a political one, but it made the worship of Chemosh a part of the religious life of Israel for nearly 400 years. == Literary references == *[[John Milton]], "Paradise Lost", Book I <blockquote> Next CHEMOS, th' obscene dread of MOABS Sons, <br> From AROER to NEBO, and the wild <br> Of Southmost ABARIM; in HESEBON <br> And HERONAIM, SEONS Realm, beyond <br> The flowry Dale of SIBMA clad with Vines, <br> And ELEALE to th' ASPHALTICK Pool. <br> PEOR his other Name, when he entic'd <br> ISRAEL in SITTIM on their march from NILE <br> To do him wanton rites, which cost them woe. <br> Yet thence his lustful Orgies he enlarg'd <br> Even to that Hill of scandal [the Mount of Olives], by the Grove <br> Of MOLOCH homicide, lust hard by hate; <br> Till good JOSIAH drove them thence to Hell. </blockquote> *[[Harry Turtledove]]'s short [[alternate history]] story "Occupation Duty" (collected in ''Atlantis and Other Places'' anthology) features a society where Chemoshism survived to the present day, and the popular image of Chemosh has apparently metamorphosed into something akin to Yahweh. ==References== {{JewishEncyclopedia}} <references/> ==External links== *{{Commonscatinline}} [[Category:Deities in the Hebrew Bible]] [[Category:Fish gods]] [[Category:Sacrifice]] [[Category:Animal gods]]'

He became angry with his people and permitted them to become the vassals of Israel; his anger passed, he commanded Mesha to fight against Israel, and Moabitish independence was reestablished (Moabite Stone, lines 5, 9, 14 et seq.). A king in the days of Sennacherib was called "Chemoshnadab" ("K. B." ii. 90 et seq. ; see Jehonadab). Chemosh was a god associated with the Semitic mother-goddess [[Ashtar-Chemosh|Ashtar]], whose name he bears (Moabite Stone, line 17; compare Barton, "Semitic Origins," iv.). Peake wrongly holds that Ashtar-Chemosh was a deity distinct from Chemosh, while Moore and Bäthgen (''Beiträge zur Semitischen Religionsgeschichte'', p. 14) regard "Ashtar" in this name as equivalent to "[[Astarte]]," who they believe was worshipped in the temple of Chemosh. Whatever differences of conception may have attached to the god at different shrines, there is no adequate reason for doubting the substantial identity of the gods to whom these various names were applied. Hosea ix. 10 is proof that at some period (according to Wellhausen, at the time of the prophet himself) the impure cult of the Semitic goddess was practised at [[Baal]]-[[Heresy of Peor|peor]] (compare Wellhausen, ''Kleine Prophetell''; Nowack's Commentary; and G. A. Smith, ''Twelve Prophets,'' ad loc.). Chemosh, therefore, was in general a deity of the same nature as [[Baal]]. On critical occasions a [[human sacrifice]] was considered necessary to secure his favor (compare II Kings iii. 27), and when deliverance came, a sanctuary might be built to him (Moabite Stone, line 3). An ancient poem, twice quoted in the Old Testament (Num. xxi. 27-30; Jer. xlviii. 45, 46), regards the Moabites as the children of Chemosh, and also calls them "the people of Chemosh".}}', 14 => '', 15 => 'The name of the father of [[Mesha]], ''Chemosh-melek'' ("Chemosh is Malik" or "Chemosh is king"; compare Moabite Stone, line 1), indicates the possibility that Chemosh and Malik (or [[Moloch]]) were one and the same deity. [[Book of Judges]] 11:24 has been thought by some to be a proof of this, since it speaks of Chemosh as the god of the [[Ammon]]ites, while Moloch is elsewhere their god (compare [[Books of Kings|1 Kings]] 11:7, 33). Solomon is said to have built a sanctuary to Chemosh on the Mount of Olives (I Kings 11:7, 33), which was maintained till the reform of Josiah (II Kings 23:13). This movement by Solomon was no doubt to some extent a political one, but it made the worship of Chemosh a part of the religious life of Israel for nearly 400 years.', 16 => '', 17 => '== Literary references ==', 18 => '', 19 => '*[[John Milton]], "Paradise Lost", Book I', 20 => '<blockquote>', 21 => 'Next CHEMOS, th' obscene dread of MOABS Sons, <br>', 22 => 'From AROER to NEBO, and the wild <br>', 23 => 'Of Southmost ABARIM; in HESEBON <br>', 24 => 'And HERONAIM, SEONS Realm, beyond <br>', 25 => 'The flowry Dale of SIBMA clad with Vines, <br>', 26 => 'And ELEALE to th' ASPHALTICK Pool. <br>', 27 => 'PEOR his other Name, when he entic'd <br>', 28 => 'ISRAEL in SITTIM on their march from NILE <br>', 29 => 'To do him wanton rites, which cost them woe. <br>', 30 => 'Yet thence his lustful Orgies he enlarg'd <br>', 31 => 'Even to that Hill of scandal [the Mount of Olives], by the Grove <br>', 32 => 'Of MOLOCH homicide, lust hard by hate; <br>', 33 => 'Till good JOSIAH drove them thence to Hell.', 34 => '</blockquote>', 35 => '', 36 => '*[[Harry Turtledove]]'s short [[alternate history]] story "Occupation Duty" (collected in ''Atlantis and Other Places'' anthology) features a society where Chemoshism survived to the present day, and the popular image of Chemosh has apparently metamorphosed into something akin to Yahweh.', 37 => '', 38 => '==References==', 39 => '{{JewishEncyclopedia}}', 40 => '<references/>', 41 => '', 42 => '==External links==', 43 => '*{{Commonscatinline}}', 44 => '', 45 => '[[Category:Deities in the Hebrew Bible]]', 46 => '[[Category:Fish gods]]', 47 => '[[Category:Sacrifice]]', 48 => '[[Category:Animal gods]]' ]
