Supported# Analysis of יְהוֹרָם (Jehoram) Based on the lexical data provided, יְהוֹרָם (Jehoram) is a proper name that appears only once in the Hebrew Bible. The designation as a proper noun indicates this is a personal name rather than a common word with semantic range or grammatical variation. Without additional contextual data about which specific biblical figure bears this name or the narrative circumstances of its single occurrence, the lexicon entry establishes only that this name existed in biblical Hebrew and was preserved in the textual tradition. The name's structure suggests it is a theophoric name—one incorporating a divine element—which was common in ancient Hebrew naming practices. However, the lexicon data provided does not include etymological breakdown or analysis of the name's component parts, so definitive interpretation of its meaning cannot be made from this entry alone. The single occurrence limits our ability to assess whether this name belonged to a major or minor biblical figure, or what role that person played in the scriptural narrative. To understand the significance of Jehoram in biblical history and literature, one would need to consult the biblical passage containing this occurrence, along with historical and interpretive sources beyond the lexical data presented here.
