The Rulers of Edom

These are the names of the kings of Edom (before Israel had her first king):

King Bela (sons of Beor), from Dinhabah in Edom.
Succeeded by: King Jobab (son of Zerah), from the city of Bozrah.
Succeeded by: King Husham, from the land of the Temanites.
Succeeded by: King Hadad (son of Bedad), the leader of the forces that defeated the army of Midian when it invaded Moab. His city was Avith.
Succeeded by: King Samlah, from Masrekah.
Succeeded by: King Shaul, from Rehoboth-by-the-River.
Succeeded by: King Baal-hanan (son of Achbor).
Succeeded by: King Hadad, from the city of Pau.

King Hadad's wife was Mehetabel, daughter of Matred and granddaughter of Mezahab.

Here are the names of the sub-tribes of Esau, living in the localities named after themselves:

The clan of Timna,
The clan of Alvah,
The clan of Jetheth,
The clan of Oholibamah,
The clan of Elah,
The clan of Pinon,
The clan of Kenaz,
The clan of Teman,
The clan of Mibzar,
The clan of Magdiel,
The clan of Iram.

These, then, are the names of the sub-tribes of Edom, each giving its name to the area it occupied. (All were Edomites, descendants of Esau.)
