1 The Lord spoke about the Ammonites: “Do you think there are not any people of the nation of Israel remaining? Do you think there are not any of them remaining to reinherit their land? Is that why you people who worship the god Milcom have taken possession of the territory of Gad and live in his cities?
1 Concerning the children of Ammon. Thus saith Jehovah: Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? Why is MalcamD5463 heirD5464 of Gad, and his people dwell in the cities thereof?
Malcam - Or 'their king;' but it may be another form of Milcom, the divinity of the Ammonites. see Amos 1.15; 5.26. heir - Elsewhere 'possessor.'
