Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(43-54) The ancient kings and chiliarchs of Edom, a transcript of Genesis 36:31-43, with only such differences as are incidental to transcribing.(43) Before any king reigned over the children of Israel.--Comp. Numbers 20:14-21, the message of Moses to the king of Edom, asking for a free passage for Israel through his domains. As the older people, and as having been earlier established in its permanent home, Edom was naturally a stage beyond Israel in political development. Unhappily brief as it is, this notice is very appropriately inserted here in an introduction to the history of the kings of the house of David.Bela the son of Beor.--Curiously like "Balaam the son of Beor," Numbers 22:5. In Hebrew, Bela and Balaam are essentially similar words, the terminal m of the latter being possibly a mere formative. (Perhaps, however, Balaam--Heb. Bil'am = "Bel is a kinsman") comp. Eliam. The prophet whose strange story is read in Numbers 22-24 may, like Isaiah, have been of royal extraction.Dinhabah.--Doom-giving, that is, the place where the king gave judgment (1Samuel 8:5). . . .
