HOHAM hō’ hăm (הﯴהָ֣ם). King of Hebron, who formed a league with four other Amorite kings to make war on Gibeon because it had made a treaty of peace with Joshua. The five kings were decisively defeated in a battle at Beth-horon, and after being shut up in a cave at Makkedah in which they had taken refuge, they were put to death (Josh 10:3).
