He is mentioned in the context of the southern campaign led by Joshua against the coalition of Amorite kings. In the biblical narrative, Horam came to the aid of Lachish, which was under attack by Joshua and the Israelites. However, his intervention was unsuccessful, and he was defeated and killed by Joshua's forces.
