Genesis 36:31-43

31Now these were the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the children of Israel:

32Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom, and the name of his city was Dinhabah.

33And when Bela died, Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his place.

34When Jobab died, Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.

35And when Husham died, Hadad the son of Bedad, who attacked Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his place. And the name of his city was Avith.

36When Hadad died, Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place.

37And when Samlah died, Saul of Rehoboth-by-the-River reigned in his place.

38When Saul died, Baal-Hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his place.

39And when Baal-Hanan the son of Achbor died, Hadar reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Pau. His wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.

40And these were the names of the chiefs of Esau, according to their families and their places, by their names: Chief Timnah, Chief Alvah, Chief Jetheth,

41Chief Aholibamah, Chief Elah, Chief Pinon,

42Chief Kenaz, Chief Teman, Chief Mibzar,

43Chief Magdiel, and Chief Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom, according to their dwelling places in the land of their possession. Esau was the father of the Edomites.
