1 Chronicles 1:43-50

Kings of Edom

43 These were the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king ruled over the Israelites:

Bela son of Beor; the name of his city was Dinhabah.

44 When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah, succeeded him. ^{▼▼ Heb “ruled in his place,” here and in vv. 45–50.}

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

46 When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad succeeded him. He struck down the Midianites in the plains of Moab; the name of his city was Avith.

47 When Hadad died, Samlah from Masrekah succeeded him.

48 When Samlah died, Shaul from Rehoboth on the river ^{▼▼ Or “near the river.”} ^{▼▼ The river may refer to the Euphrates River (cf. NRSV, CEV, NLT).} succeeded him.

49 When Shaul died, Baal-Hanan son of Achbor succeeded him.

50 When Baal-Hanan died, Hadad succeeded him; the name of his city was Pai. ^{▼▼ Many medieval Hebrew mss, along with some LXX mss, the Syriac, and Vulgate, read “Pau.” See also Gen 36:39.} His wife was Mehetabel, daughter of Matred, daughter of Me-Zahab.
