Chemosh was the national god of Moab, worshipped with offerings and sacrifices across their territory. Scripture condemns him as an abomination and records that even Solomon built a high place for Chemosh on Jerusalem's mountain, turning Israel toward idolatry. Jeremiah pronounced God's judgment that Chemosh and his priests would go into captivity like Moab itself.
