'Deities' in the Bible

So they abandoned the Lord and served Baal [the pagan god of the Canaanites] and the Ashtaroth.

Then the Israelites again did what was evil in the sight of the Lord; they served the Baals, the Ashtaroth (female deities), the gods of Aram (Syria), the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites, and the gods of the Philistines. They abandoned the Lord and did not serve Him.
