Commentary on Numbers 21:29

Theological / Devotional

Chemosh. The god of the Moabites (1 Kings 11:7; Jer. 48:7), to whom human sacrifices were offered (2 Kings 3:26, 27), but who did not deliver his devotees in this crisis.

Given his sons. Meaning that Chemosh was displeased with his worshipers and did not save them from their enemies (see Jer. 48:13).
