³¹Before Israel had a king, there were kings who ruled in Edom.

³²Bela became the king of Edom. Bela was the son of Beor. Bela’s city was called Dinhabah.

³³When Bela died, Jobab became the next king. Jobab was the son of Zerah from Bozrah.

³⁴When Jobab died, Husham became the next king. Husham was from the land of the Temanites.

³⁵When Husham died, Hadad became the next king. Hadad was the son of Bedad. Hadad had won the battle over Midian in the country of Moab. Hadad’s city was called Avith.

³⁶When Hadad died, Samlah became the next king. Samlah was from Masrekah.

³⁷When Samlah died, Shaul became the next king. Shaul was from Rehoboth on the river.

³⁸When Shaul died, Baal-Hanan became the next king. Baal-Hanan was the son of Acbor.

³⁹When Baal-Hanan died, Hadad became the next king. Hadad’s city was called Pau. His wife’s name was Mehetabel. She was the daughter of Matred. Matred was the daughter of Me-Zahab.
