36:31 The kings around Edom

(1 Chr. 1:43-54)

31 And these were the kings who reigned in Edom region before the tribes of Yisrael (Israel) had a king: 32 Be’or’s son Bela reigned in Edom, and the name of his city was Dinhavah. 33 Then Bela died, and Zerah’s son Yovav from Batserah reigned in his place. 34 Then Yovav died, and Husham from the land of the Teymanin reigned in his place. 35 Then Husham died, and Bedad’s son Hadad reigned in his place, and the name of his city was Avit. He was the one who attacked the Midyanites in the countryside in Moav (Moab). 36 Then Hadad died, and Samlah from Masrekah reigned in his place. 37 Then Samlah died, and Shaul from Rehovot by the river reigned in his place. 38 Then Shaul died, and Akbor’s son Ba’al -Hanan reigned in his place. 39 Then (Akbor’s son) Ba’al -Hanan died, and Hadar reigned in his place, and the name of his city was Paeu. His wife’s name was Meheytavel (and she was the daughter of Matred’s daughter and the granddaughter of Mey -Zahav).

40 And these are the names of the chiefs of Esav (Esau), according to their clans, according to their places, by their names: Chief Timna, Chief Alvan, Chief Yetet, 41 Chief Oholivamah, Chief Elah, Chief Pinon, 42 Chief Kenaz, Chief Teyman, Chief Mivtsar, 43 Chief Magdiyel, and Chief Iram. They were the chiefs of Edom, according to their residences in the land of their possession. That was the record about Esav, the ancestor of the Edomim.
