כמוש

'kemos' is a member of the Alehim, associated with the land of Moab.

With only 8 instances, it is a simple matter to clearly lay out the evidence:

Reference Identified as Alehi Associated with Moab
Numbers 21:29 Yes
Judges 11:24 Yes
1 Kings 11:7 Yes

Judges 11:24 “Will not Chemosh your god give you to possess whatever you take? So whatever Yahweh our God gives us we will possess”

Note that in these verses, the word used here is aleh, despite the traditional rendering as 'god'.
