    The form is tagged Noun · Proper throughout. In 2 Kings 1:17 the APB renders two namesakes in a succession notice, one reigning in another Jehoram's second year; 2 Chronicles 17:8 places a Jehoram among priests, while 2 Kings 9:21 presents Jehoram king of Israel going out with Ahaziah king of Judah to meet Jehu.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB usually presents the name as “Jehoram,” including priestly, family, and royal references. In several conflict and illness contexts it also uses “Joram”; That variation should be treated as its presentation of the verse rather than a separate lexical sense.
