The Kings of Edom

(Genesis 36:31–43)

43 These [are] the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the Israelites:[fn]

• Bela son of Beor. His city was named Dinhabah.
• 44 When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah reigned in his place.
• 45 When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.
• 46 When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad, who defeated Midian in the country of Moab, reigned in his place. And the name of his city was Avith.
• 47 When Hadad died, Samlah from Masrekah reigned in his place.
• 48 When Samlah died, Shaul from Rehoboth on the Euphrates[fn] reigned in his place.
• 49 When Shaul died, Baal-hanan son of Achbor reigned in his place.
• 50 When Baal-hanan died, Hadad reigned in his place. His city was named Pau,[fn] and his wife’s name was Mehetabel daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-zahab.
• 51 Then Hadad died.

Now the chiefs of Edom [were] Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, 52 Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, 53 Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, 54 Magdiel, and Iram. These [were] the chiefs of Edom.
