Jehoram or Joram (Hebrew: יְהוֹרָם, romanized: Yəhorām) was the ninth king of the northern Kingdom of Israel according to 2 Kings 8:16 and 2 Kings 8:25–28.He was the son of King Ahab and Jezebel and brother to Ahaziah and Athaliah.
Jehoram took to wife Athaliah, his namesake's sister and daughter of Ahab and Jezebel, "and he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab" (II Kings viii. 18, 27). His wickedness would have brought his people to destruction, except for the promise to David "to give him always a light, and to his children" (ib. viii. 19 ...
Gustave Doré, The Death of Athaliah.. Accounts of Athaliah’s life are found in 2 Kings 8:16–11:16 and 2 Chronicles 22:10–23:15 in the Hebrew Bible.According to the chroniclers, she was the daughter of king Omri of Israel; [1] however, she is usually considered to have been the daughter of King Ahab – the son of Omri – and his wife, Queen Jezebel.

She was the daughter of King Jehoram of Judah, sister to King Ahaziah of Judah and wife of Jehoiada the priest. She was a daughter of Jehoram, but not necessarily of Athaliah . After the death of Ahaziah, his mother, Athaliah, made herself Queen of Judah and ordered the execution of all members of the royal family that could claim the throne.
The last ruler, Athaliah, survived and usurped the Judean throne. However Jehu, who was the son of Jehoshaphat , [ 5 ] and the grandson of Nimshi , could possibly be a great-grandson of Omri [ 6 ] (although the latter notion is not supported by the biblical text), which would extend the period of the "House of Omri" for much longer.
Jehu (/ ˈ dʒ iː h uː /; Hebrew: יֵהוּא, romanized: Yēhūʾ, meaning "Yah is He"; Akkadian: 𒅀𒌑𒀀 Ya'úa [ia-ú-a]; Latin: Iehu) was the tenth king of the northern Kingdom of Israel since Jeroboam I, noted for exterminating the house of Ahab.
Dalley based her argument on the name Atalia being similar, and perhaps etymologically identical, to the name Athaliah (borne by a Judean queen who ruled about a century earlier), that the ending of the name (i-a or ia-a) could represent a theophoric element deriving from Yahweh, and that Atalia and Iaba might have been related.
