(1 Chronicles 1:43–54)

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

• 32 Bela son of Beor reigned in Edom; the name of his city was Dinhabah.
• 33 When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah reigned in his place.
• 34 When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.
• 35 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.
• 36 When Hadad died, Samlah from Masrekah reigned in his place.
• 37 When Samlah died, Shaul from Rehoboth on the Euphrates[fn] reigned in his place.
• 38 When Shaul died, Baal-hanan son of Achbor reigned in his place.
• 39 When Baal-hanan son of Achbor died, Hadad[fn] reigned in his place. His city was named Pau, and his wife’s name was Mehetabel daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-zahab.

40 These are the names of Esau’s chiefs, according to their families and regions, by their names: Chiefs Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, 41 Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, 42 Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, 43 Magdiel, and Iram. These [were] the chiefs of Edom, according to their settlements in the land they possessed. Esau was the father of the Edomites.
