Samlah
What Bible dictionaries say about “Samlah”, one article after the other.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (ISBE 1915)
sam'-la (samlah; Salama): One of the kings of Edom, of the city of Masrekah. He reigned before the Israelites had kings (Ge 36:36,37; 1Ch 1:47,48). The fact that the city is mentioned in connection with the name of the king suggests that Edom was a confederacy at this time and the chief city was the metropolis of the whole country.
