Jehoram King of Judah 
Jehoram was born in Jerusalem, Israel. Jehoram's father was Jehoshaphat King of Judah. His paternal grandfather was Asa King of Judah and his paternal grandmother is Azubah Queen of Judah. He had four brothers, and also a sibling of unknown gender named Azariah, Jehiel, Michael, Zechariah and Shephatiah. He died in Jerusalem.General Notes
Jehoram of Judah was son and successor of Jehoshaphat. He married Athalia, daughter of Ahab, and thus became the son-in-law of Jehoram of Israel. Upon Jehoram’s accession to the throne in 849 bc he slew his brothers, to whom his father had given a number of fortified cities and many other gifts. His reign was troubled: The nation of Edom revolted against Judah, regaining its independence, and the Philistines and the Arabians attacked Judah and ransacked Jerusalem, taking many captives (see 2 Chronicles 21). All of Jehoram's sons, including Ahaziah, who succeeded him on the throne in 842, were killed by Jehu, king of Israel (see 2 Kings 9:27; 10:13-14).
