BrTr Now his three friends having heard of all the evil that was come upon him, came to him each from his own country: Eliphaz the king of the Thæmans, Baldad sovereign of the Saucheans, Sophar king of the Minæans: and they came to him with one accord, to comfort and to visit him.
BrLXX Ἀκούσαντες δὲ οἱ τρεῖς φίλοι αὐτοῦ τὰ κακὰ πάντα τὰ ἐπελθόντα αὐτῷ, παρεγένοντο ἕκαστος ἐκ τῆς ἰδίας χώρας πρὸς αὐτόν· Ἐλιφὰζ ὁ Θαιμανῶν βασιλεὺς, Βαλδὰδ ὁ Σαυχέων τύραννος, Σωφὰρ Μιναίων βασιλεύς· καὶ παρεγένοντο πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁμοθυμαδὸν, τοῦ παρακαλέσαι καὶ ἐπισκέψασθαι αὐτόν.

2:11 It might have taken several months for Job’s friends (see study note on 6:14-27) to hear of his afflictions (see 7:3).
• The text implies that Job’s friends were Edomites, a people who were famous for their wisdom (Jer 49:7; Obad 1:8).
• Eliphaz the Temanite was probably a descendant of Esau’s grandson Teman (Gen 36:10-11, 15); his land was located in Edom (Ezek 25:13; Amos 1:11-12).
• The Bil- element in Bildad would remind Hebrew readers of names like Bilhan, a descendant of Esau (Gen 36:27; 1 Chr 1:42). The -dad element would remind them of names like Bedad, father of the Edomite king Hadad (Gen 36:35; 1 Chr 1:46).
• Shuhite: No place named Shuah is known, but Abraham’s son Shuah was sent to “a land in the east” (Gen 25:1, 6; 1 Chr 1:32).
• The Greek Old Testament lists Zophar instead of Zepho as one of Esau’s grandsons (Gen 36:11, 15; 1 Chr 1:36). A Naamathite might reside in a town named Naamah, but no such location is known. Two Old Testament women are named Naamah, but neither is a likely ancestor of Zophar (Gen 4:22; 1 Kgs 14:21).
