The Descendants of Esau
(1 Chronicles 1:35–37)

1And these are the generations of Esau (he is Edom). 2Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah, daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah, daughter of Anah, daughter of Zibeon the Hivite, 3and Basemath, daughter of Ishmael, sister of Nebaioth. 4And Adah bore to Esau Eliphaz, and Basemath bore Reuel, 5and Oholibamah bore Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah. These were the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan.

6And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the souls of his house, and his cattle, and all his animals, and all his property that he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and he went to a land away from the face of Jacob his brother. 7For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together, and the land of their sojournings was not able to support them because of their cattle. 8And Esau dwelt in the hill country of Seir (Esau is Edom).

9And these are the generations of Esau, the father of Edom, in the hill country of Seir.

10These are the names of the sons of Esau: Eliphaz, son of Adah, wife of Esau, and Reuel, son of Basemath, wife of Esau.

11And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz. 12And Timna was a concubine to Eliphaz, son of Esau; and she bore to Eliphaz Amalek. These are the sons of Adah, wife of Esau.

13And these are the sons of Reuel: Nahath and Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. These were the sons of Basemath, wife of Esau.

14And these were the sons of Oholibamah, daughter of Anah, daughter of Zibeon, wife of Esau; and she bore to Esau Jeush, and Jalam, and Korah.

15These are the chiefs of the sons of Esau: The sons of Eliphaz, the firstborn of Esau—Chief Teman, Chief Omar, Chief Zepho, Chief Kenaz, 16Chief Korah, Chief Gatam, and Chief Amalek. These were the chiefs of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah.

17And these are the sons of Reuel, son of Esau: Chief Nahath, Chief Zerah, Chief Shammah, and Chief Mizzah. These are the chiefs of Reuel in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Basemath, the wife of Esau.

18And these are the sons of Oholibamah, wife of Esau: Chief Jeush, Chief Jalam, and Chief Korah. These are the chiefs from Oholibamah, daughter of Anah, wife of Esau.

19These are the sons of Esau (he is Edom), and these were their chiefs.

22And the sons of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and a sister of Lotan was Timna.

23And these are the sons of Shobal: Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho and Onam.

24And these are the sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah. He was the Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness as he was pasturing the donkeys of Zibeon his father.

25And these are the sons of Anah: Dishon, and Oholibamah, daughter of Anah.

26And these are the sons of Dishan: Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran.

27These are the sons of Ezer: Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan.

28These are the sons of Dishan: Uz and Aran.

29These are the chiefs of the Horite: Chief Lotan, Chief Shobal, Chief Zibeon, Chief Anah, 30Chief Dishon, Chief Ezer, and Chief Dishan. These are the chiefs of the Horite according to their chiefs in the land of Seir.

The Kings of Edom
(1 Chronicles 1:43–54)

31And these are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before a king reigned over the sons of Israel:

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

33And Bela died, and Jobab, son of Zerah, from Bozrah, reigned in his place.

34And Jobab died, and Husham from the land of the Temanite reigned in his place.

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

36And Hadad died, and Samlah from Masrekah reigned in his place.

37And Samlah died, and Saul from Rehoboth by the River reigned in his place.

38And Saul died, and Baal-hanan, son of Achbor, reigned in his place.

39And Baal-hanan, son of Achbor, died, and Hadad reigned in his place. And the name of his city was Pau, and the name of his wife was Mehetabel, daughter of Matred, daughter of Me-zahab.

40And these are the names of the chiefs of Esau, according to their clans according to their places, by their names: Chief Timna, Chief Alvah, Chief Jetheth, 41Chief Oholibamah, Chief Elah, Chief Pinon, 42Chief Kenaz, Chief Teman, Chief Mibzar, 43Chief Magdiel, and Chief Iram.
