A receiver of tributes under David and Solomon, and director of the thirty thousand men sent to Lebanon to cut timber, 1 Kings 5:14 . The same person is also called Adoram, by contraction, 2 Samuel 20:21 1 Kings 12:8 ; and also Hadoram, 2 Chronicles 10:18 . He was stoned to death by the revolted ten tribes, having been sent to them by Rehoboam, either to induce them to return, or to test by gathering the taxes.
Easton's Bible Dictionary [2]

Fausset's Bible Dictionary [3]
Son of Abda; over the tribute for about 47 years under David, Solomon, and Rehoboam; also over Solomon's levy of 30,000 sent by ten thousands monthly to cut timber in Lebanon ( 1 Kings 4:6 ). Contracted into ADORAM ( 2 Samuel 20:24 ) and HADORAM. Stoned by the people of Israel when sent by Rehoboam to collect the tribute which had been their chief ground of complaint against the king ( 1 Kings 12:18 ; 2 Chronicles 10:18 ).

Chief over the tribute in the days of Solomon. 1 Kings 4:6 ; 1 Kings 5:14 . In David's time ADORAM was over the tribute, 2 Samuel 20:24 , and in the days of Rehoboam also a person of this name was over the tribute, 1 Kings 12:18 , which Gesenius and others take to be a contracted form of Adoniram, and to refer to the same person. Apparently the Adoram mentioned in 1 Kings 12:18 is called HADORAM in 2 Chronicles 10:18 . All Israel stoned him to death at the revolt of the ten tribes. If Adoniram held office from David to Rehoboam it would embrace a long period; still it may be the same throughout, or father and son.

<translit> ad </translit> - <translit> ō </translit> - <translit> nı̄´ram </translit> ( אדניום , <translit> 'ădhōnı̄rām </translit> , "my lord is exalted"): An official of Solomon ( 1 Kings 4:6 ; 1 Kings 5:14 ). Near the close of the reign of David, and at the opening of the reign of Rehoboam, the same office was held by Adoram ( 2 Samuel 20:24 ; 1 Kings 12:18 ).

Kitto's Popular Cyclopedia of Biblial Literature [10]
Adoni´ram (lord of height, that is, high lord) 1 Kings 4:6 . This name is exhibited in the contracted form of Adoram in 2 Samuel 20:24 ; 1 Kings 12:18 ; and of Hadoram in 2 Chronicles 10:18 .
Adoniram, 1
Adoniram or Hadoram, son of Toi, king of Hamath, who was sent by his father to congratulate David on his victory over their common enemy Hadarezer, king of Syria ( 1 Chronicles 18:10 ). This prince is called Joram in 2 Samuel 8:10 .
Adoniram, 2
A person of this name is mentioned as receiver-general of the imposts in the reigns of David, Solomon, and Rehoboam. Only one incident is recorded in connection with this person when the ten tribes seceded from the house of David, and made Jeroboam king, Rehoboam sent Adoniram among them, for the purpose, we may presume, of collecting the usual imposts, which had become very heavy. Perhaps he had been rigid in his invidious office under Solomon: at all events the collector of the imposts which had occasioned the revolt was not the person whose presence was the most likely to soothe the exasperated passions of the people. They rose upon him, and stoned him till he died ( 1 Kings 12:18 ).
