Jeroham is a name that means "cherished" or "one who finds mercy". A number of people by this name is referenced in the Bible: 1. * Father of Elkanah, and grandfather of the prophet Samuel — in 1 Samuel 1:1. 2. * The father of Azareel, the "captain" of the tribe of Dan — in 1 Chronicles 27:22. 3. * A Benjamite — in Chronicles 12:7 and 1 Chronicles 9:12. 4. * A man whose son assisted in placing Joash on the throne — in 2 Chronicles 23:1. 5. * A priest — in 1 Chronicles 9:12; (perhaps the same as in Nehemiah 11:12).
