[Redemption] Asherah Pole

My Jairus' Daughter is blocked by Queen Maachah. My opponent switches his
active artifact to Asherah Pole. Opponent plays Christian Suing Another,
forcing his Chloe to fight Jairus' Daughter (opponent draws a card). Chloe
plays Sound the Alarm and bands in my Woman of Wisdom. I play Burning Bush
on Jairus' Daughter to negate Sound the Alarm and Christian Suing Another.
Jairus' Daughter returns to battle with Maachah. My opponent plays
Treachery of Jezebel and negates Burning Bush, placing Chloe and Woman of
Wisdom back in a side battle with Jairus' Daughter. Jairus' Daughter plays
Transfiguration, banding in Moses from the discard pile.

I am having difficulty understanding how Asherah Pole and Moses work
together to resolve these battles. I know that Chloe and Sound the Alarm
are negated, forcing my opponent to return the drawn card and forcing my
Woman of Wisdom to go back to my territory. However, one of the following
must also be true:

1. Moses negates Christian Suing Another, forcing Chloe back to my
opponent's territory and Queen Maachah to fight Moses and Jairus' Daughter.
Now that my opponent is blocking an OT hero, Asherah Pole kicks in but the
side battle is already negated.

2. Moses tried to negate Christian Suing Another, but cannot since he will
be allowing Queen Maachah to block an OT hero and prevent her enhancements
from being negated. Therefore, Moses and Jairus' Daughter finish the battle
against Chloe. Chloe dies, and Moses and Jairus' Daughter return to the
original battle against Queen Maachah.

Any insights?

Hey,

Asherah Pole's ability is, "When blocking any O.T Hero, evil enhancements
cannot be negated. Discard if Gideon, King Asa, King Hezekiah, or King
Josiah enters battle." When Moses enters battle, he negates stuff including
Christian Suing Another. Queen Maachan is not blocking an O.T Hero until
the side battle ends, by which point Christian Suing Another is already
negated. From that point on, evil enhancements cannot be negated, but
Christian Suing Another was already negated. I see nothing to suggest that
Asherah Pole works retroactivly.
