Genesis 36:31-43
Genesis 36:31-43 NCV
These are the kings who ruled in the land of Edom before the Israelites ever had a king: Bela son of Beor was the king of Edom. He came from the city of Dinhabah. When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah became king. Jobab was from Bozrah. When Jobab died, Husham became king. He was from the land of the Temanites. When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad, who had defeated Midian in the country of Moab, became king. Hadad was from the city of Avith. When Hadad died, Samlah became king. He was from Masrekah. When Samlah died, Shaul became king. He was from Rehoboth on the Euphrates River. When Shaul died, Baal-Hanan son of Acbor became king. When Baal-Hanan son of Acbor died, Hadad became king. He was from the city of Pau. His wife’s name was Mehetabel daughter of Matred, who was the daughter of Me-Zahab. These Edomite leaders, listed by their families and regions, came from Esau. Their names were Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, Magdiel, and Iram. They were the leaders of Edom. (Esau was the father of the Edomites.) The area where each of these families lived was named after that family.
