1. Jehoram/Joram (proper name) — The Hebrew proper name Jehoram (יְהוֹרָם) or its shortened forms Joram (יוֹרָם/יֹרָם), meaning 'YHWH is exalted.' This theophoric name refers to at least two prominent kings in the divided monarchy period: (1) Jehoram king of Judah, son of Jehoshaphat, who reigned 8 years and married Athaliah daughter of Ahab (2 Kgs 8:16-24; 2 Chr 21-22); (2) Joram king of Israel, son of Ahab, who reigned 12 years and was killed by Jehu at Jezreel (2 Kgs 1:17; 3:1-6; 8:25-29; 9:14-24). The BDB lexicon also mentions a priest sent by Jehoshaphat to teach in Judah (2 Chr 17:8). All inflectional variants (with prepositions ל, conjunctions ו, or standalone) share the same onomastic identity. While the referents are distinct historical persons, the lexical entry is a single proper name with uniform meaning across all its bearers. 29×
