Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Kings 17:31

"and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim." — 2 Kings 17:31 (ASV)

Nibhaz and Tartak are unknown, but the forms have an Assyrio-Babylonian cast. (Compare Nimrod, Nergal with the former, and Ishtar, Namtar, Merodach, Shadrach, with the latter.) Before Nibhaz the Septuagint has another name, Abaazar, or Eblazer (? ’abal Assûr “the Son of Assur”).

Adrammelech. —Compare 2 Kings 19:37. Identified by Schrader with the Assyrian Adar-mâlik, “Adar is prince” (? Adrum).

Anammelech — i.e., Anum-mâlik, “Anu is prince.” Adar and Anu are well-known Assyrian gods.
