میلکوم (خدا)

thumb|Statue potentially depicting Milcom or a deified Ammonite ruler as Milcom, 8th century BCE Milcom, also spelled Milkom (Ammonite: 𐤌𐤋𐤊𐤌 *Mīlkām; Hebrew: ), was either the national god, or an important god, of the Ammonites. He is attested in the Hebrew Bible and in archaeological finds from the former territory of Ammon. His connections to other deities with similar names attested in the Bible and archaeologically are debated, as well as his relationship to the Canaanite supreme deity El, or the putative deity Moloch.
