Joram or Jehoram
Generation 7 from Adam
Biography
The son of Jehoshaphat who became king of Judah, Joram walked in the evil ways of the kings of Israel because he married Athaliah, daughter of Ahab. He killed all his brothers to secure his throne, established high places, and led Judah into idolatry. He died of a horrible intestinal disease with no one mourning him.
Joram's reign illustrates the destructive impact of ungodly marriages and the swift spiritual decline that can occur in a single generation when God's ways are abandoned.
