The wicked...

I did some resaerch to try and keep all these "ites" straight. Moabites: descedants of Lot thru incestral relations with his oldest daughter. They are said to have made human sacrifices. Their god was named Chemosh Ammonites: also descendants of Lot thru relations with his youngest daughter. Their god was Molech Hittites: descendants of the Caananites, served as high ranking officers in David's army. Storm gods were prominent in their pantheon. One of the gods was the symbol of the bull
