Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

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

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.
