Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Kings 17:31

_ _ Nibhaz — under that of a dog — that Egyptian form of animal-worship having prevailed in ancient Syria, as is evident from the image of a large dog at the mouth of the Nahr-el-Kelb, or Dog river.

_ _ Tartak — According to the rabbis, it was in the form of an ass, but others understand it as a planet of ill-omen, probably Saturn.

_ _ Adrammelech — supposed by some to be the same as Molech, and in Assyrian mythology to stand for the sun. It was worshipped in the form of a mule — others maintain in that of a peacock.

_ _ Anammelech — worshipped in the form of a hare; others say in that of a goat.
