Joram

Joram (meaning: to cast; elevated) is the name of two contemporary kings — one of Israel and one of Judah — who reigned during the same period and were related by marriage. Joram king of Israel, son of Ahab, continued his parents' Baal worship though less ardently, and was wounded in battle against Hazael of Syria at Ramoth-gilead. Joram (also called Jehoram) king of Judah was the son of Jehoshaphat and married Ahab's daughter Athaliah, whose influence drew him into Baal worship; he was plagued with disease and died without honor.

Both Jorams fell in the period of Jehu's coup: the Israelite king was shot by Jehu's arrow at Naboth's field, while the Judahite king's wife Athaliah subsequently seized the throne of Jerusalem.
