"Now these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the children of Israel; Bela the son of Beor: and the name of his city was Dinhabah."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Now these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom,.... Which had its name from Esau, who was so called, Gen 25:30 . From hence, to the end

of the chapter, an account is given of the kings and dukes of Edom, in the same order as in Gen 30:31 .
