As strange as it may seem, Believers are usually afraid to study this subject, leaving themselves ill-equipped to understand more than 250 verses in the Biblical Text and approximately 4o different gods and goddesses.
Adrammelech was a idol of the Sepharvites (Assyria – Sabraim in East Central Syria), and was supposedly identical with Molech in 2 Kings 17:31. The name is derived from the phrase the lordship of the king. In 2 Kgs. 17 it is reported that the Babylonians how were resettled in Samaria burn their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the idols of the Sepharvaim. There is a close association of this name to one of the sons of Sennacherib, the Assyrian king in 2 Kgs. 19:37. Adrammelech and Sharezer are the two sons of Sennacherib who killed him while he was worshipping in a temple to his idol in Assyria after being disgraced in battle.
Anammelech was also a idol of the Sepharvites and was thought to have been in the form of a horse. Human sacrifices were also offered to it as in the case of Adrammelech
