their king
Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary


MILCOM.—The national deity of Ammon. Solomon established a sanctuary for him on the Mount of Olives, which seems to have continued till it was destroyed by Josiah (1Ki_11:5; 1Ki_11:33, 2Ki_23:13). In 2Sa_12:30, 1Ch_20:2, Jer_49:3, and Zep_1:5 Malcam (‘their king’) is probably an incorrect vocalization of Milcom. The name is from the common Semitic root malk, melek (‘king’ or ‘prince’), probably with an Inflectional termination. The traditional identification of Milcom with Molech is based only upon 1Ki_11:7, a verse which is probably corrupt. See Molech.

Milcom
(Heb. Milkom', מַלְכֹּם, their king, 1Ki_11:5; Sept. Μελχώμ and Μελχόμ, Vulg. Moloch; 2Ki_23:13, Μολόχ, Melchom; also MALCHAM, Heb. Malkam', מִלְכָּם, id., Jer_49:1; Jer_49:3, Sept. Μελχόλ,Vulg. Melchom, “their king;” but this last is the proper rendering in Amo_1:15; Zep_1:5, in which latter passage the Auth. Vers. has “Malcham”), the principal deity of the Ammonites (Jer_49:1; Jer_49:3), for whose worship Solomon erected altars on the Mount of Olives, hence called the Hill of Offence (2Ki_23:13). Milcom is usually regarded as the same as Molech or Moloch, although the latter was worshipped in a different place and manner, namely, by the offering of children in the flames of the valley of Hinnom (see Keil, Comment. ad loc. Kings; Movers, Phon. page 324 sq.; Ewald, Isr. Gesch. 3:100). SEE MOLOCH.
