, and
Rehoboam
(
1 Kings 4:6
6
And Ahishar was over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the tribute. (1 Kings 4:6)
). Written
Adoram
(
2 Sam. 20:24
24

;
1 Kings 12:18

); and
Hadoram
(
2 Chron. 10:18
18

Concise Bible Dictionary
:
Chief
over
the
tribute
in the days of
Solomon
(
1 Kings 4:6; 5:14
6
And Ahishar was over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the tribute. (1 Kings 4:6)
14
And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the levy. (1 Kings 5:14)
). In
David
’s
time
ADORAM
was over the tribute (
2 Sam. 20:24
24
And Adoram was over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder: (2 Samuel 20:24)
), and in the days of
Rehoboam
also
a
person
of
this
name
was over the tribute (
1 Kings 12:18
18
Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. (1 Kings 12:18)
), which Gesenius and others
take
to be a contracted form of Adoniram, and to refer to the same person. Apparently the Adoram mentioned in
1 Kings 12:18
18
Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. (1 Kings 12:18)
is called
HADORAM
in
2 Chronicles 10:18
18
Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. (2 Chronicles 10:18)
.
All
Israel
stoned
him
to
death
at the revolt of the
ten
tribes. If Adoniram held
office
from David to Rehoboam it would embrace a
long
period; still it may be the same throughout, or
father
and
son
.
