1. Seth in 1 Chronicles 1:1.

2. Numbers 24:17 translated "destroy all the children of tumult," i.e. Moab's fierce warriors (Exodus 15:15; Isaiah 15:4; Isaiah 16:6). Sheth is related to shaon in the parallel "tumultuous ones," Hebrew "children of tumult" (Jeremiah 48:45); others make Sheth a Moabite king.
