Lord, when you left Seir, when you marched out from the grain field of Edom, the earth quaked and the heavens poured out rain; indeed, the clouds poured out water.

Seir’s descendants were Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan.

Some of them—that is, 500 Simeonite men—went to Mount Seir. Under the leadership of Ishi’s sons Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel,

Right on time, as they began to sing and praise, the Lord ambushed the Ammonites, Moabites, and the inhabitants of Mount Seir who had attacked Judah, and they were defeated.

The Ammonites and Moabites attacked the inhabitants of Mount Seir, destroying them, and after they had finished with the inhabitants of Mount Seir, they worked on destroying one another!

Prophecy against Mount Seir

A message came to me from the Lord and it went like this:

Tell them, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “Watch out! I’m coming to get you, Mount Seir! I’m stretching out my hand to strike you, and I’m going to turn you into a desolate wasteland.

I’m turning Mount Seir over to ruin and desolation. I’m going to eliminate everyone who comes and goes,

Just as you rejoiced when Israel’s inheritance became desolate, I’m going to do the same thing to you. Mount Seir, you and Edom—all of you—will become a desolate wasteland.’ Then they will learn that I am the Lord.”
