Usage: Piram is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers specifically to a king of Jarmuth, one of the five Amorite kings who formed an alliance against Gibeon and were subsequently defeated by Joshua and the Israelites. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, city-states were often ruled by kings who wielded significant local power. The city of Jarmuth, over which Piram ruled, was one of these city-states located in the southern region of Canaan. During the time of Joshua, the Israelites were conquering the land of Canaan as part of the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham. The alliance of the five Amorite kings, including Piram, represents the resistance of the Canaanite peoples to the Israelite incursion.
