jehoram
   jehovah-exalted. 1. son of toi, king of hamath, sent by his
   father to congratulate david on the occasion of his victory over
   hadadezer 2 sam. 8:10.
   
     2. a levite of the family of gershom 1 chr. 26:25.
   
     3. a priest sent by jehoshaphat to instructruct the people
   in judah 2 chr. 17:8.
   
     4. the son of ahab and jezebel, and successor to his brother
   ahaziah on the throne of israel. he reigned twelve years, b.c.
   896-884 2 kings 1:17; 3:1. his first work was to reduce to
   subjection the moabites, who had asserted their independence in
   the reign of his brother. jehoshaphat, king of judah, assisted
   jehoram in this effort. he was further helped by his ally the
   king of edom. elisha went forth with the confederated army 2
   kings 3:1-19, and at the solicitation of jehoshaphat encouraged
   the army with the assurance from the lord of a speedy victory.
   the moabites under mesha their king were utterly routed and
   their cities destroyed. at kir-haraseth mesha made a final
   stand. the israelites refrained from pressing their victory
   further, and returned to their own land.
   
     elisha afterwards again befriended jehoram when a war broke
   out between the syrians and israel, and in a remarkable way
   brought that war to a bloodless close 2 kings 6:23. but
   jehoram, becoming confident in his own power, sank into
   idolatry, and brought upon himself and his land another syrian
   invasion, which led to great suffering and distress in samaria
   2 kings 6:24-33. by a remarkable providential interposition
   the city was saved from utter destruction, and the syrians were
   put to flight 2 kings 7:6-15.
   
     jehoram was wounded in a battle with the syrians at ramah, and
   obliged to return to jezreel 2 kings 8:29; 9:14, 15, and soon
   after the army proclaimed their leader jehu king of israel, and
   revolted from their allegiance to jehoram 2 kings 9. jehoram
   was pierced by an arrow from jehu's bow on the piece of ground
   at jezreel which ahab had taken from naboth, and there he died
   2 kings 9:21-29.
   
     5. the eldest son and successor of jehoshaphat, king of
   judah. he reigned eight years b.c. 892-885 alone as king of
   judah, having been previously for some years associated with his
   father 2 chr. 21:5, 20; 2 kings 8:16. his wife was athaliah,
   the daughter of ahab and jezebel. his daughter jehosheba was
   married to the high priest jehoiada. he sank into gross
   idolatry, and brought upon himself and his kingdom the anger of
   jehovah. the edomites revolted from under his yoke, and the
   philistines and the arabians and cushites invaded the land, and
   carried away great spoil, along with jehoram's wives and all his
   children, except ahaziah. he died a painful death from a fearful
   malady, and was refused a place in the sepulchre of the kings 2
   kings 8:16-24; 2 chr. 21.
