Joram, also known as Jehoram, was the king of Judah and the son of King Jehoshaphat. He reigned for eight years (2 Kings 8:16-17). Joram became king at the age of 32 and did evil in the sight of the Lord (2 Kings 8:18). He married Athaliah, the daughter of King Ahab of Israel, and followed the ways of the house of Ahab (2 Kings 8:18, 26-27). Joram formed an alliance with King Ahaziah of Israel and went to war against Hazael, king of Syria, at Ramoth-gilead (2 Kings 8:28; 2 Chronicles 22:5). During the battle, Joram was wounded and returned to Jezreel to recover (2 Kings 8:29; 2 Chronicles 22:6). While Joram was in Jezreel, Jehu, who had been anointed as king of Israel, came to Jezreel and killed both Joram and Ahaziah (2 Kings 9:14-24, 27-29; 2 Chronicles 22:7-9). Joram's reign ended in 841 BC, and he was succeeded by his youngest son, Ahaziah (2 Kings 8:24-25; 2 Chronicles 22:1-2).
