Barnes' Notes
Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters - See II Kings 16:3; Ezekiel 16:20; Ezekiel 20:31; Isaiah 57:5.
Unto devils - Hebrew, ׁ shêdiym . The Septuagint, ́ daimoniois , "demons." So the Vulgate, "daemoniis." The word is used only in the plural number, and is applied to idols. It occurs only in this place, and in Deuteronomy 32:17. On the meaning of this, see the notes at I Corinthians 10:20.
