Ancient Israelites believed in the existence of other gods, even while maintaining that only one God had power and jurisdiction in Israel; this is evidenced by Mark chapter 3, where religious authorities attributed Jesus's power to cast out demons to Beelzebul, the 'God of the world,' demonstrating their belief in multiple divine beings despite their monotheistic framework.

Ancient Israelites: Monotheistic or Polytheistic?Added:
don't understand that there's only one God. They understand there's only one God in Israel.
They believe there's other gods.
>> That is a stretch.
>> No, it's not a stretch. No, I'll explain it. In Mark chapter 3, they attribute Jesus's power to cast out demons by the God of the world who is Beelzebul. They attribute Jesus's authority to another God because they believe other gods exist.
They just don't believe they have power in Israel or that they have jurisdiction in Israel.
