Genesis 36:31-39

31These are the kings who ruled in the land of Edom before any king ruled over the Israelites:

32Bela son of Beor, who ruled in Edom from his city of Dinhabah.

33When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah became king in his place.

34When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites became king in his place.

35When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad became king in his place and ruled from the city of Avith. He was the one who defeated the Midianites in the land of Moab.

36When Hadad died, Samlah from the city of Masrekah became king in his place.

37When Samlah died, Shaul from the city of Rehoboth-on-the-River became king in his place.

38When Shaul died, Baal-hanan son of Acbor became king in his place.

39When Baal-hanan son of Acbor died, Hadad became king in his place and ruled from the city of Pau. His wife was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred and granddaughter of Me-zahab.
