ADO'RAM, contr. from ADONI'RAM (lord of height). 1. An officer of the customs under David. 2 Sam 20:24. An officer of Rehoboam's treasury (perhaps the son of the former), who was stoned to death by the people of Israel who followed Jeroboam. 1 Kgs 12:18. Some suppose him to have been the same with Adoniram, 1 Kgs 5:14, who was over the customs in Solomon's reign, and that the people were so indignant at the oppression they had suffered through his agency that they took this method of revenge.
