Hadoram

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hadoram is the name of two people in the Old Testament .

etymology

The Hebrew personal name "Hadoram" is plene in the Masoretic text in Gen 10.27  EU and 1 Chr 18.10  EU הֲדֹורָם hǎdôrām written, but defective in 2 Chr 10.18  EUהֲדֹרָם hǎdorām . In 2 Sam 8,10  EU the name isיֹֽורָם jôrām , German 'Joram' . Hans Rechenmacher traces the name back to <* haddū-rām . This name is a verb sentence name, consisting of subject and predicate. Subject and at the same time theophoric element is <* haddū " Haddad ", the predicate is derived from the verb rootרום rûm "to be sublime" from. The name therefore means "Haddad is exalted". A general change of the name toאֲדֹנִירָם 'ǎdonîrām , German ' Adoniram ' , as Martin Noth suggests, is not necessary. Only in 2 Chr 2,18  EU can Hadoram be seen as a subsidiary form to Adoniram.

The Septuagint gives the name in Gen 10.27  EU as οδορρα odorra , on the other hand in 2 Sam 8.10  EU as ιεδδουραν ieddūran and in 1 Chr 18.10  EU as ιδουραμ idūram . In 2 Chr 10.18  EU the report is adapted to the royal books and the name is given as αδωνιραμ adōniram . The Vulgate gives the name as Aduram , only in 2 Sam 8,10  EU as Ioram , the Samaritan Pentateuch finally as ' Ēdūram .

Hadoram, son of Joktan

Hadoram is according to the table of nations Gen 10.27  EU and according to 1 Chr 1.21  EU the fifth oldest son of Joktan. His brothers are called Almodad , Sheef , Hazarmawet , Jerach , Usal , Dikla, Obal, Abimaël, Sheba , Ofir , Hawila and Jobab. They settled from Mescha via Sefar to the Eastern Mountains. The section in Gen 10: 25-29  EU , in which Hadoram and his brothers are mentioned, does not belong to the priestly scriptures.

Hadoram, son of Tois

Another Hadoram is mentioned in 2 Sam 8.10  EU and 1 Chr 18.10  EU as the son of Toïs or Toës, the king of Hamat. His father sends him with gifts to King David to congratulate him on his victory over Hadad-Eser's army, as his father was at war against him.
