ENT_AMM_MILKOM Milkom   Ammonite National deity War Deity national sovereignty; war; kingship; Ammon       A           National deity of the Ammonites; also spelled Milcom, Malcam. Name from Proto-Semitic *mlk (king); the deity's name literally means "the King." Primary attestation in the Hebrew Bible: 1 Kings 11:5,33 record Solomon building a high place for Milkom "the abomination of the Ammonites"; 2 Kings 23:13 records Josiah's destruction of that high place; Jeremiah 49:1,3 asks "Why has Milkom dispossessed Gad?" and announces Milkom's exile; Zephaniah 1:5 condemns those who swear by Milkom. The Tell Siran bottle inscription (c. 600 BCE; from Amman) and Ammonite personal names with theophoric Milkom elements (*mlkm, *mlky) confirm the deity's prominence in the Ammonite royal cult. The identification of Milkom with Molech (the deity associated with child sacrifice in Leviticus 18:21 etc.) is debated; most contemporary scholars treat them as distinct, though both derive from *mlk.
