HADORAM hə dôr’ əm (הֲדﯴרָ֥ם). 1. Either the son of Joktan or an Arabian tribe called the son of Joktan (Gen 10:27; 1 Chron 1:21).

Son of Tou, king of Hamath; sent to David with presents by his father (1 Chron 18:10). The parallel passage, 2 Samuel 8:10, reads “Joram,” but it should prob. be “Hadoram.”

3. An official of King Rehoboam in the forced labor department. The people of Israel stoned him to death (2 Chron 10:18), the same as Adoram (1 Kings 12:18) and Adoniram (4:6).
