However, the concept of a high-ranking official or overseer might be related to Greek terms for leadership or governance.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Adoniram means "my lord is exalted" or "the lord is exalted." It is a proper name used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a high-ranking official in the service of King Solomon and later kings of Israel.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Adoniram was an official in the administration of King Solomon, responsible for overseeing the labor force. This role was crucial during Solomon's reign, particularly in the construction of the Temple and other significant building projects. The position of overseeing forced labor was a powerful and influential one, reflecting the centralized and organized nature of Solomon's kingdom. The use of forced labor was common in ancient Near Eastern monarchies for large-scale construction projects.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/113.htm">adon</a> and <a href="/hebrew/7311.htm">rum</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"my Lord is exalted," one of Solomon's leaders<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Adoniram (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">אֲדֹנִירָם</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (<em>my Lord is exalted</em>) official of Solomon <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/4-6.htm">1 Kings 4:6</a>;
