A discrepancy appears in the King James’ Version and other Masoretic Text bibles relative to the Septuagint version in the book of Jeremiah (ΙΕΡΕΜΙΑΣ). The Masoretic Text derived bibles equate the king with the deity.  The term LORD of hosts supposedly represents a place in the original language texts where the divine name appears.  That may not always be the case.  There is a popular online Bible translation which lists the papyrus from which it derives each translation.  One can check the papyrus for the divine name in places where that translation says LORD and there is no instance of the divine name on the original document.    For this particular instance, the difference appears in these three quotations.

1885 RV: Moab is laid waste, and they are gone up into her cities; and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts. [1]

The King James’ Version is similar to the English Revised Version.

KJV: Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts. [2]

The Septuagint version does not equate the king with the deity.

LXX: 16. Moab is ruined, even his city, and his choice young men have gone down to slaughter. 16 The day of Moab is near at hand, and his iniquity moves swiftly to vengeance.[3]

This question particularly interests me.  Perhaps twenty years or more ago, an exposition on the subject of the old testament included someone explaining that old testament religion was an abstraction of the king, and essentially a form of worshipping the king as a military commander.  That description really inspired me to research and study more.

Amos 4:13 negates the concept of a king occupying the conceptual space of the deity as does the three angels’ message in the book of Revelation.
