From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Malcam
      (2 Sam. 12:30, Heb., R.V., "their king;" Jer. 49:1, 3, R.V.;
      Zeph. 1:5), the national idol of the Ammonites. When Rabbah was
      taken by David, the crown of this idol was among the spoils. The
      weight is said to have been "a talent of gold" (above 100 lbs.).
      The expression probably denotes its value rather than its
      weight. It was adorned with precious stones.
