  Jehoram of Israel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jehoram (or Joram) was the king of Israel (2 Kings 8:16, 25, 28f), and he was the son of Ahab.
It is likely that their defeat at Ramoth-Gilead was serious, for while Jehoram was recuperating at Jezreel, his general Jehu incited a revolt, slew Jehoram, and took the throne of Israel for himself.
The author of the Tel Dan Stele (found in 1993 and 1994 during archaeological excavations of the site of Laish) claimed to have slain both Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, and Jehoram; the most likely author of this monument is Hazael of the Arameans.

 Jehoram; Joram (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
Apparently the fierce fanaticism of Jezebel and the boldness of Ahab reappear in the son in the form of duplicity and superstition.
To seal the alliance, Athaliah, daughter of Jezebel and Ahab, was married to Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat.
In the account in Chronicles, Jehoram is represented as having lost all his possessions and all his family, save Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons, when the town was sacked and the palace plundered by the invading force of Philistines and Arabians.

Jehoram the son of Ahab (not to be confused with Jehoram of Judah) succeeded his brother Ahaziah to the throne "in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah" (2 Kings 3:1).
Very well, this would mean that Jehoram of Judah died in the 13th year of the reign of Jehoram of Israel, because Jehoram of Judah became king in the fifth year of Jehoram of Israel, but the total length of Jehoram of Israel's reign was only twelve years (2 Kings 3:1).
Besides this, the reference to Elijah's letter is near the end of the chronicler's version of Jehoram's life, an indication that it was written well into the eight-year reign of Jehoram (21:5) and not at some time during a hypothetical co-regency.

Jehoram of Judah was made co-regent before the death of his father Jehoshaphat, so it was during Jehoram's co-regency that Elijah wrote him the letter.
Certainly Jehoram could not have established himself over the kingdom of his father while a monarch of Je- hoshaphat's power was still alive, so obviously it was after Jehoshaphat was dead that Jehoram murdered his brothers.
So the obvious intention of the chronicler was to report that Jehoram's wickedness became so great during his reign that somewhere close to six years after Jehoram had become king, Elijah pronounced a curse upon him in a letter, and then he died about two years later, having reigned for a total of eight years.

Jehoram has so much self-command as to take this plain dealing patiently; he cares not now for hearing of the prophets of Baal, but is a humble suitor to the God of Israel and his prophet, representing the present case as very deplorable and humbly recommending it to the prophet's compassionate consideration.
His mind was somewhat ruffled and disturbed at the sight of Jehoram; though he was not put into a sinful heat or passion, nor had spoken unadvisedly, yet his zeal for the present indisposed him for prayer and the operations of the Spirit, which required a mind very calm and sedate.

 Jehoram - King of Judah
Jehoram reigned eight years over Judah and, according to Scripture, not a single good thing came out of it.

Jehoram must have shared the throne with Ahaziah for a period of two years after the death of Ahab since Jehoram is said to have begun his rule in the 18th of Jehoshaphat.
Jehoram of Judah synchronizes with Jehoram of Israel - 2 Kings 1:17; "And Jehoram (of Israel) began to reign in his (father's) stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah:" Jehoram of Israel reigned twelve years.
At this point the chronology is traced through Jehoram of Israel to Ahaziah of Judah and back through Jehoram of Judah (who in the reign of Jehoshaphat, served as both representative and coruler with his father), to establish the period of Jehoram's representation of Jehoshaphat, and also the period of his coregency with Jehoshaphat.
