Haydock's commentary
Melchom, the god or idol of the Ammonites, otherwise called Moloch, and Melech; which, in Hebrew, signifies a king, or Melchom their king. (Challoner)
He assumed the title of "their king," Judges xi. 14., and Jeremias xlix. 3. (Haydock)
Blind people, who could not see the vanity of such impotent gods! (Calmet)
Both he. Septuagint, "and their priests." (Haydock)
