2 Samuel 8:9–10 says that Toi king of Hamath sent Joram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him, and 1 Chronicles 18:9–10 that Tou king of Hamath sent Hadoram his son to do so. The two passages give the same title, king of Hamath, and the same sending, but both editions write the names of the king and of his son differently (the Korean Revised Version 도이 and 도우, 요람 and 하도람; WEB Toi and Tou, Joram and Hadoram). The text does not say whether they are the same men. This collection records the four differently written names apart and does not decide whether they are the same men.
