Footnotes

  1. 16 Chemosh was the national god of Moab (see also Numb 21:29). Child sacrifice appears to have been a part of his worship (2 Kgs 3:27). Solomon built a high place in Jerusalem for him (1 Kgs 11:7), and he appears to have been worshiped in Israel until Josiah tore that high place down (2 Kgs 23:13).
  2. 17 The practice of carrying off the gods of captive nations has already been mentioned in the study note on . See also Isa 46:1–2 noted there.
