Genesis 36:31-43

The Voice

³¹ There were kings who reigned in the land of Edom long before any king ruled over the Israelites: ³² Bela (Beor’s son) ruled in Edom from his city Dinhabah. ³³ Bela died, then Jobab (son of Zerah’s son from Bozrah) succeeded him as king. ³⁴ Jobab died, then Husham from the land of the Temanites succeeded him as king. ³⁵ Husham died, then Hadad (Bedad’s son, who defeated Midian in the country of Moab) succeeded him and ruled from his city Avith. ³⁶ Hadad died, then Samlah of Masrekah succeeded him as king. ³⁷ Samlah died, then Shaul of Rehoboth on the Euphrates River succeeded him as king. ³⁸ Shaul died, and then Baal-hanan (Achbor’s son) succeeded him as king. ³⁹ Baal-hanan (Achbor’s son) died, then Hadar succeeded him and ruled from his city Pau. His wife’s name was Mehetabel (daughter of Matred, daughter of Mezahab).

⁴⁰ These are the names of the tribal chiefs among Esau’s descendants, according to their families and where they lived: Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, ⁴¹ Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, ⁴² Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, ⁴³ Magdiel, and Iram. These were the tribal chiefs of Edom (who is also known as Esau, the father of Edomites) according to the land they owned and where they settled.
