Duke Aholibamah, Duke Elah, Duke Pinon. The former is the name of a woman, Gen 36:2 ; here the name of a man, and also of the place of which
he was duke; for Jerom observes (q), that Oolibama is a city of the princes of Edom, and who also makes mention of Elath, a country of the princes of Edom, and a city of Esau, ten miles from Petra to the east (r), and the seat of Duke Pinon was very probably Phinon, which lay between Petra and Zoar (s). (q) De Loc. Heb. fol. 93. K. (r) Ib. fol. 91. E. (s) Eusebius apud Reland. Palestin. illustrat. p. 71.
