Jorkeam
Divided Kingdom
Tribe of Judah(?)
·
H3421
Jorkeam was a descendant of Caleb or a town founded by Raham in the tribe of Judah.
Jorkeam appears in the genealogy of Caleb son of Hezron in 1 Chronicles 2:44, listed as 'born of Raham.' In the tribal records of Judah, clan names often double as place names, and Jorkeam may refer both to a person and to a settlement founded by his family. He is mentioned only in this genealogical context and no further information about his lineage or location is preserved.
