Dictionary of the Bible
ADONIRAM, ADORAM.—The latter name occurs 2Sa 20:24, 1Ki 12:18, and is probably a corruption of Adoniram. Adoniram superintended the levies employed in the public works during the reigns of David, Solomon, and Rehoboam. He was stoned to death by the rebellious Israelites when sent to them by Rehoboam (1Ki 12:18).
