Samlah
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
sam´la ( שׂמלה , samlāh ; Σαλαμά , Salamá ): One of the kings of Edom, of the city of Masrekah. He reigned before the Israelites had kings ( Genesis 36:36 , Genesis 36:37; 1 Chronicles 1:47 , 1 Chronicles 1:48 ). The fact that the city is mentioned in connection with the name of the king suggests that Edom was a confederacy at this time and the chief city was the metropolis of the whole country.
