Jehoram of Judah

Figure Analysis

The son of the good king, Jehoshaphat, Jehoram goes wrong when he marries Ahab's wicked daughter, Athaliah. He has to deal with various challenges during his reign—like the revolt of Edom—which prove pretty difficult to solve. After he dies, his son Ahaziah succeeds him, only to be killed by the rebellious (and divinely favored) Jehu.
