Aholibamah was her married name, taken from the district, in the heights of Edom, near mount Hor and Petra; Aholibamah is therefore the name given her in the genealogical table of Edom (Genesis 36:2; Genesis 36:18; Genesis 36:25; Genesis 36:41; Genesis 36:43; the names here are of places, not persons; 1 Chronicles 1:52). Each of Esau's wives has a name. in the genealogy different from that it, the history.
