Malcam
also known as: Malkam, Malcham, Milkowm, Milcom
the national idol of the Ammonites—2 Samuel 12:30, Heb., Revised King James Version, “their king;” Jeremiah 49:1, 3, Revised King James Version; Zeph. 1:5
When Rabbah was taken by David, the crown of this idol was among the spoils. The weight is said to have been “a talent of gold” (above 100 lbs.). The expression probably denotes its value rather than its weight. It was adorned with precious stones.
