He Wrote, and He Similarly Wrote

From Genesis Chapter 36,
written by Moses the prophet,
an Israelite from the tribe of Levi:

And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel. And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his city was Dinhabah. And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead. And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his stead. And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Avith. And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead. And Samlah died, and Saul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead. And Saul died, and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead. And Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab. And these are the names of the dukes that came of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names; duke Timnah, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth, Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon, Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar, Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession: he is Esau the father of the Edomites
.-Genesis 36:31-43

Reference Information:

At least 300 years before the Israelites began living under the rulership of kings in the Promised Land, the Edomites were living under the rulership of kings. The Edomites descended from Esau (Edom), the older fraternal twin brother of Jacob (Israel). Esau and Jacob were the sons of Isaac and Rebekah and the grandsons of Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai). The Lord God gave the land of Canaan to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. The Lord God gave Mount Seir to the Edomites. In the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible, the land inhabited by Edomites is also identified as Idumea (Idumaea). Bozrah and Teman were principal cities inhabited by Edomites. Over 400 years after Obadiah the prophet revealed a message regarding the Edomites and their rejoicing after the Israelites were conquered in the Promised Land, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River. Shortly thereafter, Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, and people from Idumea came to Jesus.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-2:17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 8:1-40, 9:35-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah 8:1-18, 12:1-47, Isaiah 34:1-36:22, 63:1-19, Jeremiah 49:1-39, Ezekiel 25:1-17, 35:1-15, Amos 1:1-20, Obadiah, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

From 1 Chronicles Chapter 1, possibly written by Ezra,
the priest and scribe from the tribe of Levi,
although the identity of the writer is
 not definitively known: 

Now these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the children of Israel; Bela the son of Beor: and the name of his city was Dinhabah. And when Bela was dead, Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead. And when Jobab was dead, Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his stead. And when Husham was dead, Hadad the son of Bedad, which smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Avith. And when Hadad was dead, Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead. And when Samlah was dead, Shaul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead. And when Shaul was dead, Baal-hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead. And when Baal-hanan was dead, Hadad reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pai; and his wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab. Hadad died also. And the dukes of Edom were; duke Timnah, duke Aliah, duke Jetheth, Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon, Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar, Duke Magdiel, duke Iram. These are the dukes of Edom.-1 Chronicles 1:43-54
