Usage: The name Ἰωράμ appears in the New Testament genealogies and is used to refer to two distinct kings in the Old Testament: one from the northern kingdom of Israel and one from the southern kingdom of Judah.

Context: Joram of Israel: Joram, also known as Jehoram, was the son of Ahab and Jezebel and reigned as king of Israel. His reign is noted for the continuation of the idolatrous practices initiated by his parents, although he did remove the sacred pillar of Baal (2 Kings 3:2). His rule was marked by conflicts with Moab and the involvement of the prophet Elisha. Joram's reign ended when he was killed by Jehu, who was anointed to bring judgment upon the house of Ahab (2 Kings 9:24).

Joram of Judah: Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, was king of Judah. His reign was characterized by a departure from the ways of his father, as he led Judah into idolatry and formed an alliance with the house of Ahab through marriage (2 Chronicles 21:6). His rule saw invasions by the Philistines and Arabs, and he suffered from a severe illness before his death (2 Chronicles 21:16-19).

New Testament Reference: In the genealogy of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew, Joram is listed as an ancestor of Jesus, highlighting the royal lineage through the house of David (Matthew 1:8).
