כְּמוֹשׁ m. [Chemosh], pr.n. of a national god of the Moabites and Ammonites, Judges 11:24, worshipped also at Jerusalem in the reign of Solomon [after his wives had turned aside his heart]. 1 Kings 11:7; 2 Kings 23:13; Jeremiah 48:7 perhaps subduer, conqueror, tamer, from the root כָּמַשׁ, which see; hence עַם כְּמוֹשׁ people of Chemosh, i.e. the Moabites, Numbers 21:29. LXX. Χαμώς. Vulg. Chamos.
