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.-Genesis 36:31-39

Background information:
Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai) were born to Terah. Terah was the great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson of Shem. Shem was born to Noah the ark builder. Ishmael was born to 86-year-old Abraham and Hagar, Sarah's maidservant. Isaac was born to 100-year-old Abraham and 90-year-old Sarah. When Isaac was 40 years old, he was married to Rebekah, Abraham and Sarah's grandniece. Fraternal twin sons Esau (Edom) Jacob (Israel) were born to 60-year-old Isaac and Rebekah. Mount Seir was the region inhabited by the Horites (Horim). The Lord God gave Mount Seir to Esau, and the Lord God destroyed the Horites, and Esau's descendants the Edomites destroyed and dispossessed the Horites and began living throughout Mount Seir. Canaan was land inhabited by the Hittites and other idolaters that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. Esau was 40 years old when he was married to Judith and Bashemath, Hittite women descended from Noah's son Ham, Ham's son Canaan, and Canaan's son Heth. When Isaac was elderly and his eyesight was dim, he gave instructions to Esau, his favorite son. Rebekah heard Isaac speaking to Esau, and gave instructions to Jacob, her favorite son, and Jacob deceived Isaac and cheated Esau. After Rebekah learned that Esau planned to kill Jacob, she spoke words to Isaac that led Isaac to send Jacob from their home in Canaan to Rebekah's family in Padan Aram, Haran. Shortly thereafter, Esau was married to Ishamel's daughter Mahalath. During Jacob's 7th year in Haran, Jacob was married to Leah and Rachel, the daughters of Rebekah's brother Laban the Syrian (Aramean). Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, and daughter Dinah were born to Jacob and Leah. Dan and Naphtali were born to Jacob and Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant. Gad and Asher were born to Jacob and Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. Joseph was the 1st son born to Jacob and Rachel. During Jacob's 20th year in Haran, he began journeying home to Canaan with his family, servants, animals, and possessions. After a divine wrestling encounter in Peniel (Penuel), Jacob and Esau were reunited, and Esau returned to his home in Seir. Near Bethlehem, Benjamin was born to Jacob and Rachel, and Rachel died. Jacob and Isaac were reunited in Hebron. Over 800 years after 180-year-old Isaac died, and Esau and Jacob buried Jacob's body in the cave in Hebron wherein Sarah, Abraham, and Rebekah were buried after they died, Samuel the priest and prophet was the judge leading the Israelites. When Samuel was elderly, and his sons Joel (Vashni) and Abiah (Abijah) were not obeying the commands of the Lord God, and King Nahash and his Ammonite army were preparing to attack, the Israelite elders demanded that Samuel appoint a king to lead them. Meanwhile, the donkeys that belonged to Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin, were lost and Kish sent his son Saul, with a servant, to find the donkeys. Saul followed the servant's advice, and the directions given by a group of young ladies, and Saul and the servant met Samuel, and obeyed Samuel, and Samuel anointed Saul to reign as king, according to the command of the Lord God. David, from the tribe of Judah was the 2nd king to rule over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that before the era of the Israelite kings, 130-year-old Jacob moved with his family from Canaan to Egypt, and 147-year-old Jacob died in Egypt, and Jacob's family buried his body in the cave in Canaan, and 110-year-old Joseph and his siblings died in Egypt, and the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt, and Moses and his older brother Aaron led the Israelites away from Egypt, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and through a 40-year journey in the desert wilderness, and Joshua led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the Promised Land, and after 110-year-old Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, the Israelites were led by elders, judges, and their own minds. Over 900 years after Solomon, a son born to David and Bathsheba, became the 3rd king to rule over all of the Israelites, 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 in Bethlehem, into the tribe of Judah, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis, Exodus, Numbers 13:1-14:45, 20:1-19, 26:1-27:23, Deuteronomy 31:1-34:12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezra 1:1-11, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
