Barnes' Notes
Adoram has been identified with Adoniram (marginal references), and even with the Adoram of II Samuel 20:24. But it is highly improbable that the same person was chief superintendent of the forced labors during the whole of Solomon' s long reign, and also during a part of David' s and Rehoboam' s. We may therefore conclude that the three names mark three distinct persons, perhaps of the same family, who were respectively contemporary with the three kings. Adoram was chosen, as best acquainted with the hardships whereof the rebels complained, to arrange some alleviation of their burthens.
