1.4 KiB

Jehoram, Joram

Facts:

"Jehoram" was the name of two kings in the Old Testament. Both kings were also known as "Joram."

  • One King Jehoram ruled over the kingdom of Judah for eight years. He was the son of King Jehoshaphat. This is the king that is most commonly known as Jehoram.
  • The other King Jehoram ruled over the kingdom of Israel for twelve years. He was the son of King Ahab.
  • King Jehoram of Judah reigned during the time that the prophets Jeremiah, Daniel, Obadiah, and Ezekiel were prophesying in the kingdom of Judah.
  • The King Jehoram also reigned during some of the time that his father King Jehoshaphat was reigning over Judah.
  • Some translations may choose to consistently use the name "Jehoram" when this king of Israel is mentioned and the name "Joram" for the king of Judah.
  • Another way to clearly identify each one would be to include the name of his father.
