Joram
Joram was a king of Judah who reigned for eight years and followed the wicked ways of the house of Ahab.
Joram, also known as Jehoram, was the son of Jehoshaphat and king of Judah. His reign was marked by spiritual apostasy and the murder of his own brothers to secure his throne. Scripture records his death from a severe intestinal disease as divine judgment for his failure to walk in the ways of the Lord.
