43These are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the Israelites:8
Bela son of Beor. His city was named Dinhabah. 44When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah reigned in his place. 45When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites reigned in his place. 46When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad, who defeated Midian in the country of Moab, reigned in his place. And the name of his city was Avith. 47When Hadad died, Samlah from Masrekah reigned in his place. 48When Samlah died, Shaul from Rehoboth on the Euphrates9 reigned in his place. 49When Shaul died, Baal-hanan son of Achbor reigned in his place. 50When Baal-hanan died, Hadad reigned in his place. His city was named Pau,10 and his wife’s name was Mehetabel daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-zahab. 51Then Hadad died.
Now the chiefs of Edom were Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, 52Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, 53Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, 54Magdiel, and Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom.
