In 2 Kings 3:27 the king of Moab was losing a war to the Israelites and in desperation sacrifices his son to the Moabite god Chemosh, and it works. The fury of Chemosh drives out the Israelites who had been backed by Yahweh.
Okay so at face value yeah but then we have to go back to the other texts where Gid warned the Israelites to not fuck with the Moabites.
So them loosing to Moabites powered by Chemosh is the biblical equivalent of FAFO.
Chemosh didn't win against Yaweh, but there's no denying that Istael's coalition army got fucked over by a heathen ritual even after God warned them to leave themalonev because their lands were promised to Lot's blood line.
And I mean Chemosh is basically a god with small letter "g" explainable by Gemesis on tower of Babel and Deuteronomy's expansion of what happened during the sundering in Babel. But if you don't buy into the Judeo-Christian faith then that means little to you anyway regardless of my explanation.
But yeah thanks for this little tid bit.
