Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name "Piram," as it is a proper noun specific to the Old Testament narrative and does not appear in the Greek New Testament. Usage: Piram is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Piram is mentioned in the context of the conquest narratives in the Book of Joshua. He was one of the five Amorite kings who formed a coalition against the Israelites during their campaign in Canaan. Specifically, Piram was the king of Jarmuth, a city located in the Shephelah region of ancient Judah. The coalition of kings, including Piram, sought to attack Gibeon because it had made peace with Joshua and the Israelites. This alliance of kings was ultimately defeated by Joshua in a miraculous battle where the sun stood still, as recorded in Joshua 10. The five kings, including Piram, fled and hid in a cave at Makkedah, where they were eventually captured and executed by Joshua. The account of Piram and the other Amorite kings serves as a testament to the divine assistance granted to Israel in their conquest of the Promised Land.
