Much respect for the people of Iraq, who put in a ridiculous amount of effort to deny the BIble.

Oh there is no question that Yaweh was originally just a local god. Jews would have recognized other gods too, just not as their one true god.

Indeed. The headcanon part is the whole hijacking part.
Truth be told, it makes perfect sense for religions as a whole following some type of evolutionary path and that a religion that actively tries to eliminate other faith would be one to eventually gain dominance. I'm more surprised that it seems to have happened fairly late and perhaps just once? There's probably others similar to the judeo-christian tradition that ended up falling short of their conquest, but still.
