When Jobab died
The phrase marks a transition of leadership, a common theme in the genealogical and historical records of the Bible. The name "Jobab" is of Hebrew origin, possibly meaning "howler" or "shouter," which may reflect a characteristic or reputation. The death of a leader often signifies a period of change or uncertainty, yet it also sets the stage for new leadership. In the biblical narrative, such transitions are reminders of the temporal nature of human authority and the enduring sovereignty of God.

Husham
Husham is introduced as the successor to Jobab. The name "Husham" is derived from the Hebrew root "חוש" (chush), meaning "to hurry" or "to be quick." This could imply a sense of urgency or decisiveness in his leadership. The introduction of Husham highlights the continuity of governance and the importance of maintaining order and stability within the community.

from the land of the Temanites
The Temanites were a group associated with the region of Edom, known for their wisdom and counsel, as seen in the Book of Job where Eliphaz the Temanite is one of Job's friends. The mention of the Temanites situates Husham within a specific cultural and geographical context, emphasizing the interconnectedness of the peoples in the ancient Near East. This reference also underscores the historical and ethnic diversity present in the biblical narrative, reflecting the broader tapestry of God's creation.

reigned in his place
The act of reigning signifies authority and responsibility. In the biblical context, a king's reign is often seen as divinely ordained, with the expectation that the ruler will govern justly and in accordance with God's laws. The phrase "in his place" indicates a seamless transition, suggesting that Husham was recognized as the legitimate successor. This continuity is crucial for maintaining the social and political stability of the community, and it reflects the biblical principle of orderly succession and governance.

Verse 34. - And Jobab died, and Husham - Hushai; "Haste" (Gesenius) - of the land of Temani (a province in Northern Idumea, with a city Teman which has not yet been discovered) reigned in his stead.
