Esau

³⁴ Abraham was the father of Isaac. The sons of Isaac: Esau and Israel.

³⁵ The sons of Esau: Eliphaz, Reuel, Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.

⁵¹ Then Hadad died. Now the chiefs of Edom were Timna, Alvah, Jetheth,

⁵² Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon,

Magdiel, and Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom.

⁹ When King Tou of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,

¹⁰ he sent his son Hadoram to greet King David and bless him for fighting and defeating Hadadezer, who had been at war with Tou. Hadoram brought all kinds of articles of gold and silver and bronze,

¹¹ and King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had carried off from all these nations—from Edom and Moab, and from the Ammonites, Philistines, and Amalekites.

¹² Moreover, Abishai son of Zeruiah struck down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

¹³ He placed garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.

King Solomon also assembled a fleet of ships at Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth in Edom, on the shore of the Red Sea.

¹⁴ Then the LORD raised up against Solomon an adversary, Hadad the Edomite, from the royal line of Edom.

¹⁵ Earlier, when David was in Edom, Joab the commander of the army had gone to bury the dead and had struck down every male in Edom.

¹⁶ Joab and all Israel had stayed there six months, until he had killed every male in Edom.

And there was no king in Edom; a deputy served as king.

After Saul had assumed the kingship over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side—the Moabites, the Ammonites, the Edomites, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he routed them.

Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of Edom.

But Amaziah would not listen, for this had come from God in order to deliver them into the hand of Jehoash, because they had sought the gods of Edom.
