Jehoram of Israel

Jehoram (or Joram) is a king of the northern Kingdom of Israel.

(2 Kings 8:16, 8:25-28) He was the son of Ahab and Jezebel.

According to 2 Kings 8:16, in the fifth year of Joram of Israel, (another) Jehoram became king of Judah, when his father Jehoshaphat was (still) king of Judah, indicating a co-regency.

The author of Kings also speaks of both Jehoram of Israel and Jehoram of Judah in the same passage, which can be confusing.

Jehoram began to reign in Israel in the 18th year of Jehoshaphat of Judah, and reigned 12 years.

(2 Kings 3:1) William F. Albright has dated his reign to 849 BC-842 BCE, while E. R. Thiele offers the dates 852 BC-841 BCE.
