About Ram
Ram is mentioned in the genealogy of the tribe of Judah as the firstborn son of Jerahmeel (1Ch.2.25, 27). Jerahmeel was a descendant of Judah through his son Hezron. Ram had two brothers, Bunah and Oren, and a half-brother named Onam. The genealogy also mentions Ram's sons, Maaz, Jamin, and Eker. No further details are provided about Ram or his descendants in the Bible. The inclusion of Ram in the genealogy serves to document the family lines within the tribe of Judah.
