Text -- 1 Chronicles 1:43-50 (NET)

Kings of Edom

1:43 These were the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king ruled over the Israelites: Bela son of Beor; the name of his city was Dinhabah. 1:44 When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah, succeeded him. 1:45 When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites succeeded him. 1:46 When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad succeeded him. He struck down the Midianites in the plains of Moab; the name of his city was Avith. 1:47 When Hadad died, Samlah from Masrekah succeeded him. 1:48 When Samlah died, Shaul from Rehoboth on the river succeeded him. 1:49 When Shaul died, Baal-Hanan son of Achbor succeeded him. 1:50 When Baal-Hanan died, Hadad succeeded him; the name of his city was Pai. His wife was Mehetabel, daughter of Matred, daughter of Me-Zahab.
