Hoham

HOHAM ho'-ham (hoham, "whom Yahweh impels(?)" Gesenius):

An Amorite king of Hebron and one of the five kings of the Amorites who leagued for war on Gibeon because of its treaty of peace with Joshua. The five were defeated in the decisive battle of Beth-horon, shut up in the cave at Makkedah in which they had taken refuge, and after the battle were slain, hanged and cast into the cave (Joshua 10:1-27).
