Old Testament
Horam
The king of Gezer who was defeated by Joshua while attempting to aid the city of Lachish.
Horam was the king of Gezer who led his forces to assist Lachish against the Israelites during the conquest of Canaan. Joshua and his army defeated Horam and his people, leaving no survivors. His brief appearance serves as a record of the total military victory God granted Israel over the Amorite coalition.
