Hastings

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 11:5,33; 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.
