Adoniram (personal name: 'my lord is exalted'), Solomon's official
The official over forced labor during Solomon's reign (1 Kings 4:6, 5:14). His name means 'my lord is exalted.' He also appears as Adoram (a shortened form) in 2 Samuel 20:24 under David and 1 Kings 12:18 under Rehoboam. The fact that he served three kings—David, Solomon, Rehoboam—suggests either a long career or a dynastic office. His tenure ended tragically: when Rehoboam sent him to negotiate with the northern tribes, they stoned him to death, triggering the final split of the kingdom.

1. sense 1 — Adoniram supervised the corvée (forced labor) system that provided workers for Solomon's massive building projects. The name appears with slight variation (Adoniram/Adoram), but ancient versions confirm the same individual. His multi-generational service indicates either exceptional longevity or that 'Adoniram' became a title for this office. His death by stoning (1 Kings 12:18) symbolizes the northern tribes' rejection of Solomon's labor policies—the very system Adoniram administered became the breaking point that divided Israel. 2×
