DISHON . 1. A son of Seir ( Genesis 36:21 = 1 Chronicles 1:38 ). 2. A son of Anah and grandson of Seir ( Genesis 36:25 , cf. Genesis 36:30 = 1 Chronicles 1:41; Dishon should also be read for MT [Note: Massoretic Text.] Dishan in Genesis 36:26 ). Dishan and Dishon are, of course, not individual names, but the eponyms of Horite clans. Their exact location is a matter of uncertainty.
