Jehoram (son of Jehoshaphat)
여호람 (여호사밧의 아들)
Named at 1 Kings 22:50: “Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city. Jehoram his son reigned in his place.” 2 Kings 8:16–17 says, “In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being king of Judah then, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign. He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign. He reigned eight years in Jerusalem”, and 8:18, “He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he married Ahab’s daughter. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.” 8:20–21 says that in his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves, and that Joram crossed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him with the captains of the chariots. 8:23 asks, “The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?”, and 8:24 says, “Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.” Wherever these verses name him, the Korean Revised Version calls him 여호람, Jehoram; WEB calls him Jehoram at 8:16 and Joram at 8:21, 8:23 and 8:24. 2 Chronicles 21:1–20: Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat kills his brothers after inheriting the throne and forsakes the LORD. Edom and Libnah revolt, Elijah’s letter warns of calamity, and after a Philistine and Arabian raid he dies of illness and is buried outside the kings’ tombs in David’s city.

41Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
42Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
43He walked in all the way of Asa his father. He didn’t turn away from it, doing that which was right in the LORD’s eyes. However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
44Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
45Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he fought, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
46The remnant of the sodomites, that remained in the days of his father Asa, he put away out of the land.
47There was no king in Edom. A deputy ruled.
48Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they didn’t go, for the ships wrecked at Ezion Geber.
49Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships.” But Jehoshaphat would not.
50Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city. Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
- 2CH 21:1–4, engwebp
1Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
2He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
3Their father gave them great gifts of silver, of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn.
4Now when Jehoram had risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and also some of the princes of Israel.
- 2CH 21:5–7, engwebp
5Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
6He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he had Ahab’s daughter as his wife. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.
7However the LORD would not destroy David’s house, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a lamp to him and to his children always.
- 2CH 21:8–11, engwebp
8In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
9Then Jehoram went there with his captains and all his chariots with him. He rose up by night and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, along with the captains of the chariots.
10So Edom has been in revolt from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken the LORD, the God of his fathers.
11Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem play the prostitute, and led Judah astray.
- 2CH 21:12–15, engwebp
12A letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, “the LORD, the God of David your father, says, ‘Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
13but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute like Ahab’s house did, and also have slain your brothers of your father’s house, who were better than yourself,
14behold, the LORD will strike your people with a great plague, including your children, your wives, and all your possessions;
15and you will have great sickness with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.’”
- 2CH 21:16–17, engwebp
16The LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians;
17and they came up against Judah, broke into it, and carried away all the possessions that were found in the king’s house, including his sons and his wives, so that there was no son left to him except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
- 2CH 21:18–20, engwebp
18After all this the LORD struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
19In process of time, at the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died of severe diseases. His people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
20He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He departed with no one’s regret. They buried him in David’s city, but not in the tombs of the kings.
- 2CH 22:1–4, engwebp
1The inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place, because the band of men who came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the oldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
2Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
3He also walked in the ways of Ahab’s house, because his mother was his counselor in acting wickedly.
4He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as did Ahab’s house, for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
- 2CH 22:10–12, engwebp
10Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring of the house of Judah.
11But Jehoshabeath, the king’s daughter, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stealthily rescued him from among the king’s sons who were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah, so that she didn’t kill him.
12He was with them hidden in God’s house six years while Athaliah reigned over the land.
- 2KI 1:17–18, engwebp
17So he died according to the LORD’s word which Elijah had spoken. Jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, because he had no son.
18Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
- 2KI 8:16–19, engwebp
16In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being king of Judah then, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
17He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign. He reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
18He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he married Ahab’s daughter. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.
19However, the LORD would not destroy Judah, for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always.
- 2KI 8:20–22, engwebp
20In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
21Then Joram crossed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him; and he rose up by night and struck the Edomites who surrounded him with the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.
22So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
- 2KI 8:23–24, engwebp
23The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
24Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
- 2KI 8:25–27, engwebp
25In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.
26Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
27He walked in the way of Ahab’s house and did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as did Ahab’s house, for he was the son-in-law of Ahab’s house.
- 2KI 8:28–29, engwebp
28He went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead, and the Syrians wounded Joram.
29King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel from the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
- 2KI 12:17–18, engwebp
17Then Hazael king of Syria went up and fought against Gath, and took it; and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
18Jehoash king of Judah took all the holy things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own holy things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the LORD’s house, and of the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria; and he went away from Jerusalem.

Both editions read 요람 / Joram at Matthew 1:8 and 여호람 / Jehoram at 1 Kings 22:50.

Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city. Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
Jehoash king of Judah took all the holy things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own holy things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the LORD’s house, and of the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria; and he went away from Jerusalem.

Address: https://bibliadatum.org/en/wiki/person/jehoram-jehoshaphat
Current wording: Named at 1 Kings 22:50: “Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city. Jehoram his son reigned in his place.” 2 Kings 8:16–17 says, “In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being king of Judah then, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign. He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign. He reigned eight years in Jerusalem”, and 8:18, “He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he married Ahab’s daughter. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.” 8:20–21 says that in his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves, and that Joram crossed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him with the captains of the chariots. 8:23 asks, “The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?”, and 8:24 says, “Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.” Wherever these verses name him, the Korean Revised Version calls him 여호람, Jehoram; WEB calls him Jehoram at 8:16 and Joram at 8:21, 8:23 and 8:24. 2 Chronicles 21:1–20: Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat kills his brothers after inheriting the throne and forsakes the LORD. Edom and Libnah revolt, Elijah’s letter warns of calamity, and after a Philistine and Arabian raid he dies of illness and is buried outside the kings’ tombs in David’s city.
