  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Malcam 
  (2  Sam.  12:30,  Heb.,  R.V.,  "their  king;"  Jer.  49:1,  3,  R.V.; 
  Zeph.  1:5),  the  national  idol  of  the  Ammonites.  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.
