One of the chief gods of the Moabites and the Ammonites, the worship of which was introduced at Jerusalem by Solomon, and abolished by Josiah (Num. 21:29; Judg. 11:24; 1 Kings 11:7,33; 2 Kings 23:13; Jer. 48:7,13,46). On the “MOABITE” STONE, this god is mentioned. The king, referring to the king of Israel, says, “Chemosh drove him before my sight.”
