Anammelech, a deity worshiped by people from Sepharvaim
This divine name appears in the account of foreign peoples settled in Samaria by the Assyrians, who brought their gods with them. The name possibly combines 'Anu' (a major Mesopotamian deity) with 'melek' (king), yielding 'Anu is king' or similar. The settlers of Sepharvaim burned their children as offerings to this deity, indicating a cult involving child sacrifice. The association with Assyrian religion suggests a genuine Mesopotamian background.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — The deity worshiped by Sepharvites in 2 Kings 17:31, to whom children were sacrificed by fire. The name likely reflects Assyrian 'Anu-malik,' combining the chief Mesopotamian sky god with a royal epithet. The biblical text condemns this worship as one of the abominations introduced into Samaria after the northern kingdom's fall. Translations uniformly preserve the name as a proper noun, with minor phonetic variations. 1×
