The Kings of Edom

43 Here’s a list of kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the Israelis, beginning with[a] Beor’s son Bela (his city was named Dinhabah). 44 After Bela died, Zerah’s son Jobab from Bozrah succeeded him.

45 After Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites succeeded him.

46 After Husham died, Bedad’s son Hadad, who defeated Midian in the country of Moab, succeeded him. His city was named Avith.

47 After Hadad died, Samlah from Masrekah succeeded him.

48 After Samlah died, Shaul[b] from Rehoboth on the Euphrates River[c] succeeded him.

49 After Shaul[d] died, Achbor’s son Baal-hanan succeeded him.

50 After Baal-hanan died, Hadad succeeded him. His city was named Pai, and his wife’s name was Mehetabel. She was the daughter of Matred, who was the daughter of Me-zahab. 51 Then Hadad died.

The chiefs of Edom included the chiefs of Timna, Aliah, Jetheth, 52 Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, 53 Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, 54 Magdiel, and Iram—these are the clans of Edom.
