Genesis 36 (Maria’s Version):
ESAU'S KIDDOS
Esau's wives were Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, Oholibamah the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite; And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth.
Adah gave to Esau Eliphaz; Bashemath bestowed upon him Reuel; Aholibamah had Jeush, Jaalam and Korah. Esau had these five boys along with some daughters while in the land of Canaan.
Because their Pops land was not big enough to hold both Esau and Jakes cattle, Esau (also know as Edom) volunteered to relocate. He took all of his son, daughters, wives, cattle, and herds, and stuff and moved further into the country to Mount Seir where he became known as the Father of the Edomites.
To recap, here are a list of Esau’s descendants. Eliphaz the son of Adah; Reuel the son of Bashemath.
Eliphaz, son to Adah had Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz as his son.
Eliphaz also had a side chick named Timna. She have him Amalek.
Reuel, son to Bashemath were Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah.
Esau also had kids with Oholibamah, who was the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon. Their names were Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.
Back when Esau was in his momma’s womb, she was told that both her sons would be national leaders. It took a while but it finally came to pass. All of Esau’s sons and grandsons became well known statesmen holding the title of Dukes. Here is a list:
Eliphaz son to Adah, had sons that became the leaders and chiefs. They were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz, Korah, Gatam and Amalek.
Reuel, son to Basemath, had sons that became the leaders and chiefs. They were Nahath, Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah.
Jeush, Jalam, and Korah, sons to Oholibamah were also chiefs.
Besides Esau’s fam, there were also a few other chiefs. These were sons of Seir the Horite. They were as follows:
Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, Dishon, Ezer and Dishan. These sons of Seir in Edom were Horite chiefs. Timna was Lotan’s sister.
The sons of Lotan were
Hori and Homam.
The sons of Shobal were Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho and Onam.
Zibeon's boys were:
Aiah and Anah. By the way, this is the Anah who discovered the hot springs in the desert while he was grazing the donkeys of his father Zibeon.
Anah's kids were his son Dishon and his daughter Oholibamah.
Dishon's sons were
Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran and Keran.
Ezer's boys were
Bilhan, Zaavan and Akan.
Dishan's lads were
Uz and Aran.
All of these were the Horite chiefs, according to their divisions, in the land of Seir.
EDOM’S RULERS
Besides chiefs also known as dukes, there were also Kings that ruled the land of Edom.
King Bela who ruled out of the city of Dinhabah was the son of Beor.
After his death Jobab, Zerah’s boy from Bozrah succeeded him as king.
After Jobab passed, Husham from the land of the Temanites took over as king.
When Husham died, Hadad, Bedad’s young lad, who defeated Midian in the country of Moab, followed as king. The city that he ruled out of was named Avith.
When Hadad was decided, Samlah from Masrekah was next as king.
When Samlah passed away, Shaul from Rehoboth on the river replaced him as king.
When Shaul departed, Baal-Hanan son of Akbor was his successor as king.
When Baal-Hanan, Akbor’s boy bit the dust, Hadad was his replacement as king. He ruled out of the city of Pau. His wife’s name was Mehetabel daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-Zahab.
Here are a few more leaders from Esau‘s fam according to the territory they occupied:
Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, Magdiel and Iram.
All of this to say that this is the family line of Esau, the father of the Edomites. It took a hot minute but it finally came to pass for Esau and his boys. They eventually DID become leaders of a nation as told to his momma Rebekah as she carried her boys in her womb.
