Charles Ellicott Commentary Amos 1:15

"and their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith Jehovah." — Amos 1:15 (ASV)

Their king—not as the Syrian and Vulgate read the original, Malcam or Milcom (that is, Moloch). The English Version is supported by the Septuagint, the Targum, and the context of the passage.

So far, we find the prophet denouncing the sin which trifles with blood, covenants, and ancient agreements, and recognizing the responsibilities of race. But closer inspection shows, in this and in Amos 2:0, that the prophet condemns all violations of those natural laws and rights of which he regards Jehovah as custodian and executor.
