Bible Verse Review

the kings: Genesis 36:31-39, Genesis 49:10, Numbers 24:17-19

Reciprocal: Numbers 33:31 - Benejaakan Deuteronomy 2:12 - succeeded them

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ver. 43-54. Now these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom,.... Which had its name from Esau, who was so called, Genesis 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

Genesis 30:31.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The slight differences favor the view, that the writer of Chronicles has here, as elsewhere, abridged from Genesis (see the marginal references).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 43. Before any king reigned over - Israel — See Genesis 36:31, c., where the same verses occur, as I have supposed borrowed from this place and see the notes there.

Bela the son of Beor — "Balaam the impious son of Beor, the same as Laban the Syrian, who formed a confederacy with the sons of Esau, to destroy Jacob and his children; and he studied to destroy them utterly. Afterwards he reigned in Sodom; and the name of his royal city was Dinhabah, because it was undeservedly given to him." - T.
