Solomon built a place for worshiping Chemosh. Chemosh was that horrible idol of the Moabite people. Solomon built that worship place on a hill next to Jerusalem. On that same hill, Solomon built a worship place for Molech. Molech was that horrible idol of the Ammonite people.
In the past, King Solomon built some high places [292] on Destroyer Hill near Jerusalem. The high places were on the south side of that hill. King Solomon built one of those places of worship to honor Ashtoreth, that horrible thing the people of Sidon worship. King Solomon also built one to honor Chemosh, that horrible thing the people of Moab worship. And King Solomon built one high place to honor Milcom, that horrible thing the Ammonite people worship. But King Josiah defiled (ruined) all those places of worship.
The women of Moab {\cf2\super [166]} try to cross\par the river Arnon.\par They run from one place to another\par looking for help.\par They are like little birds lost on the ground\par after their nest has fallen from a tree.\par
Then the people of Moab will be ashamed of their false god, Chemosh. {\cf2\super [382]} The people of Israel trusted that \{false god\} in Bethel. {\cf2\super [383]} And the people of Israel were embarrassed \{when that false god did not help them\}. Moab will be like that.
You trust in the things you made\par and in your wealth.\par So you will be captured.\par The god Chemosh {\cf2\super [379]} \par will be taken into captivity.\par And his priests and officials\par will be taken with him.\par
It is bad for you, Moab. You lost Chemosh’s [280] people. His sons ran away. His daughters were taken prisoners by Sihon, king of the Amorites.
Surely you can live in the land which Chemosh [98] your god has given to you. So we will live in the land that the Lord our God has given to us!
