1. Son of Tou or Toi, king of Hamath; sent to congratulate David on his victory over Hadarezer (1Ch 28:10), bearing costly presents in gold, silver, and brass (antiques according to Josephus). More likely to be the true name than "Jeram," which contains the name of Jehovah (2Sa 8:10).

2. The contracted form of Adoniram (2Sa 20:24; 1Ki 4:6; 12:18). Over the tribute, under David, Solomon, and Rehoboam. Stoned to death when sent as one of the old or moderate party, to appease the sedition; the choice of the superintendent of taxes for the purpose was consistent with the general lack of tact in Rehoboam.

Hastings

1. The fifth son of Joktan (Ge 10:27; 1Ch 1:21). 2. The son of Tou, king of Hamath (1Ch 18:10). In the parallel passage, 2Sa 8:9 f., Hadoram wrongly appears as Joram. 3. 2Ch 10:18. The parallel passage, 1Ki 12:18, has preserved the more correct form Adoram.
