An ancestor of King David and Jesus, listed in the royal genealogy of the tribe of Judah.
Ram is identified in the genealogies of Ruth, 1 Chronicles, Matthew, and Luke as the son of Hezron and the father of Amminadab. He serves as a vital link in the messianic line connecting the patriarchs to the house of David. His inclusion in these records emphasizes the historical continuity of God's covenant promises through the tribe of Judah.
