ピラム

Piram was the Amorite king of Jarmuth who joined the coalition of five Amorite kings assembled by Adoni-zedek of Jerusalem to punish Gibeon for making peace with Joshua and Israel (Joshua 10:3). The coalition was defeated by Joshua in the battle where the sun stood still at Aijalon, and the five kings—including Piram—hid in a cave at Makkedah before being captured and executed by Joshua (Joshua 10:16–26). Their defeat opened the southern hill country to Israelite conquest.
