List of deities

Adrammelech (2 Ki. 17:31). Assyrian 'sun' deity; king of fire. Children were offered in sacrifice to this idol.
Annammelech (2 Ki. 17:31). Assyrian deity supposed to represent the 'moon'; queen of fire. Children were offered as human sacrifices.
Ashima (2 Ki. 17:30). Worshipped by the people of Hamath; represented a 'goat.'
Ashtoroth (Astarte) (1 Ki. 11:33). Plural of Ashtoreth . Canaanite fertility goddess; sexual love; Queen of Heaven; represented by a female figure signifying the 'moon.'
Baal (1 Ki. 18:21). Canaanite deity; lord or master; sensual. This god is mentioned about 25 times in the Scriptures. Baal is often associated with Ashtoreth, the former connected with bloody rites, the latter with licentiousness. A male deity representing the sun and all nature. There are traces still extant of customs in Ireland, Wales, and parts of Scotland, which evidently show that Baal worship was practiced by our ancestors under the ancient Druids.
Baal-berith (Ju. 8:33). Lord of covenants; worship of Baal by the Shechemites.
Baal-peor (Nu. 25:3). Lord of the opening; worship of Baal by the Moabites. It was in Moab that the Israelites were seduced to the filthy form of idolatry.
Baal-Zebub (2 Ki. 2:16). The god of the Philistines, or 'god of Ekron.' Baal signifies 'lord,' and Baal-Zebub means the 'lord or god of flies.'
Bamah (Eze. 20:29). The word signifies an idolatrous 'high place.'
Bamoth (plural) means 'high places,' and refers to Baal worship in high and exposed places (Jos. 13:17).
Bel (Je. 50:2). Chief male deity of the Babylonians. It is uncertain what form of worship was represented by Bel. This deity had a most superb temple erected for its worship, said to have been 600 feet high, while its base covered a square of 200 yards.
Chemosh (Nu. 21:29). A principal god of the Moabites and Ammonites, worshipped by Solomon, but who or what was represented by 'Chemosh' is unknown; but human sacrifices were offered to him (2 Ki. 3:27).
Chiun (Am. 5:26). An idol worshipped by Israel in the wilderness, and regarded as a form of `star' worship. This is a solemn passage as intimating that in light of grace effecting deliverance from Egyptian bondage, they yet carried with them the idolatry of that land.
Dagon (1 Sa. 5:2). The Philistine national deity, in form partly a man and partly a fish. Ashdod and Gaza were the principal seats of its worship.
Diana (Ac. 19:24-35). A goddess of great renown amongst the Greeks. Her temple at Ephesus was a most magnificent structure. She is generally represented with many breasts, symbolizing the generative powers of nature and her ability to communicate fruitfulness in offspring. In the month of May, sacred to the goddess, immense numbers of models and shrines were sold to strangers, and thus carried all over the world. The Grecian goddess of the same name is not the Ephesian Diana; they differ in many respects.
Golden calf (Ex. 32:1-6). A form of idolatry borrowed from Egypt. By this low kind of image-worship man not only lowered his own glory (Ps. 106:20), but changed the glory of the Creator (Ro. 1:23) to that of the meanest of the creatures. Five centuries afterwards Jeroboam established this form of idolatry (1 Ki. 12:28), no doubt because of its familiarity to him when in Egypt (1 Ki. 11:40).
High Places (2 Ki. 15:35). These were generally built on very hilly and exposed situations, and specially appropriated to idolatrous purposes. Solomon and others of the kings erected these places for the express purpose of idol worship. It was a standing reproach even to the godly kings that they failed to exterminate this favorite mode of idolatry (2 Ch. 15:17).
Jupiter and Mercurius (Ac. 14:12). Jupiter was the supreme heathen divinity; and supposed to have absolute control over all gods and creation. Mercurius was the 'god of speech or eloquence,' and the special messenger of Jupiter. Hence Barnabas, probably because of his venerable appearance or supposed likeness to their god, was named 'Jupiter' by the Lystrians; and Paul, because of his speech, 'Mercurius.'
Merodach (Je. 50:2). The Babylonian god of 'war,' and of great repute in Assyria and Babylonia.
Milcom (1 Ki. 11:5). An Ammonite idol, same as Moloch.
Moloch (2 Ki. 23:10). The representative of fire, and an exceedingly cruel form of idol worship. The arms were made red hot, and human victims, especially children, placed upon them, while the cries of the agonized sufferers were drowned by the beating of drums. The idolatry practiced by the Moabites and Ammonites was both disgusting and cruel.
Nebo (Is. 46:1). Worshipped by the Assyrians and Babylonians, and regarded as the god of speech and learning, and thus equivalent to the 'Mercury' of the Latins. He seems to have been the tutelar deity of the royal race, as the name is incorporated in several of the kings' names. Nehushtan (2 Ki. 18:4). A word of contempt, meaning 'piece of brass,' applied to the brazen serpent (Nu. 21:8), which had been long worshipped by the Israelites.
Nergal (2 Ki. 17:30). An Assyrian deity of great repute; supposed to preside over the fortunes of 'war' and 'hunting.' In the monumental sculptures of the country, he is represented as partly lion and partly human.
Nibhaz (2 Ki. 17:31). One of the idols introduced into Samaria after the deportation of the ten tribes. A species of combined 'dog and man' worship. 'According to De la Roque, the colossal figure of a dog was found on the road to Tripolis, to which the inhabitants paid Divine honour.' Nisroch (2 Ki. 19:37). An Assyrian deity representing a 'great eagle.' In the Nineveh sculptures, `Nisroch' is a compound of man and bird--the face being eagle-like and the body human. Sennacherib was worshiping this idol when slain by his two sons (Is. 37:38).
Queen of Heaven (Je. 7:18). The 'moon' was worshipped as the 'queen of heaven,' under the title 'Ashtoreth,' and was generally associated with 'Baal,' the sun. The rites connected with these ancient forms of idolatrous worship were, by some nations, of the most indecent description.
Remphan (Ac. 7:43). The representation of a particular 'star,' and the same as `Chiun' mentioned in Am. 5:26.
Rimmon (2 Ki. 5:18). A Syrian idol supposed to represent the 'sun,' and worshipped by the king and nobles, who had a house devoted to its service.
Succoth-benoth (2 Ki. 17:30). Occurs but once in Scripture, and refers to booths or tents erected by the colonists sent to people Samaria in honor of the goddess of 'uncleanness.'
Tammuz (Eze. 8:14). This Syrian idol was worshipped in the very heart of Jerusalem itself. 'Women weeping for Tammuz' refers to their grief on the periodical absence of their god. The rites connected therewith were of the most filthy description.
Tartak (2 Ki. 17:31). Another of the heathen idols introduced into Samaria after the overthrow of the kingdom of Israel. Who or what 'Tartak' represents is not known. According to the uncertain teachings of the Rabbins, it had the figure of an 'ass.'
Teraphim (Ju. 17:5). Household gods in general as distinguished from national deities; consulted in daily matters as oracles (Zec. 10:2; Ge. 31:19,30).
Unknown God (Ac. 17:23). Athens was a city wholly given to idolatry, so that it has been termed 'the altar of Greece'; yet this highly-polished and intellectual people publicly proclaimed their ignorance of God and all true knowledge of God, by erecting an altar and inscribing thereon, 'to the unknown God.'
