Jeroham

Meaning: high; merciful; beloved · Male · 1 cross reference

This Jeroham entry refers to the father of Joelah and Zebadiah, Benjaminite supporters who join David at Ziklag, not to the other Benjaminite or royal-context figures of the same name. He belongs to the family background of David's growing coalition. First appears in 1 Chr 12:7.1

AI summary: This Jeroham matters because his single cross reference survives through sons who align themselves with David from Saul-linked territory. Even a paternal notice helps root that shifting loyalty in a remembered household. Taken together, the material presents this Jeroham as a familial source in David's expanding coalition.1
