Then Samlah died, and Shaul of Rehoboth by the River became king in his place.

Then Baal-hanan died, and Hadad became king in his place; and the name of his city was Pai, and his wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, daughter of Mezahab.

Then Hadad died.
Now the chiefs of Edom were:

52
chief Oholibamah, chief Elah, chief Pinon,
53
chief Kenaz, chief Teman, chief Mibzar,
