Milcom
(Heb. Milkom’, , their king, 1Ki 11:5; Sept. and , Vulg. Moloch; 2Ki 23:13, , Melchom; also MALCHAM, Heb. Malkam’, , id., Jer 49:1; Jer 49:3, Sept. ,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.

Milcom
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.
