These kings ruled in Edom before there were kings in Israel. Bela son of Beor was king of Edom, and his city was named Dinhabah. When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah became king. He was from Bozrah. When Jobab died, Husham became king. He was from the land of the Temanites. When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad became king, and his city was named Avith. Hadad defeated Midian in the country of Moab. When Hadad died, Samlah became king. He was from Masrekah. When Samlah died, Shaul became king. He was from Rehoboth by the river. When Shaul died, Baal-Hanan son of Acbor became king. When Baal-Hanan died, Hadad became king, and his city was named Pau. Hadad’s wife was named Mehetabel, and she was the daughter of Matred, who was the daughter of Me-Zahab. Then Hadad died. The leaders of the family groups of Edom were Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, Magdiel, and Iram. These were the leaders of Edom.
