Subjects in this Topic:
1. Son of Tou or Toi, king of Hamath; sent to congratulate David on his victory over Hadarezer (), bearing costly presents in gold, silver, and brass (antiques according to Josephus). More likely to be the true name than "Jeram," which contains the name of Jehovah ().
2. The contracted form of Adoniram (; ; ). Over the tribute, under David, Solomon, and Rehoboam. Stoned to death when sent as one of the old or moderate party, to appease the sedition; the choice of the superintendent of taxes for the purpose was consistent with the general lack of tact in Rehoboam.
