Chemosh--the tutelary god of Moab (Num 21:29; Jdg 11:24; Kg1 11:7; Kg2 23:13). When a people were vanquished, their gods also were taken away by the victors (Jer 43:12). |

Works - Possibly the products of labor. The versions render fortifications.
Chemosh - As the national god of Moab Num 21:29, he represents the whole land; and his being led into captivity implies the total ruin of those under his protection. His name here spelled Chemish is repeated in Car-chemish, i. e., the fortress of Chemish. |
