This genealogy highlights the integration and influence of various tribes in the region. Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam are listed as his sons, indicating the continuation of Shobal's lineage. The mention of these names reflects the historical and cultural context of the time, where genealogies were crucial for establishing tribal identities and inheritance rights. The names themselves, while not much is known about each individual, suggest the diversity and complexity of the ancient Near Eastern peoples. This passage connects to the broader biblical narrative by showing the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that he would be the father of many nations, as these descendants are part of the broader family tree stemming from Abraham.<p><b>The sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah.</b><br>Zibeon is another descendant of Seir the Horite, and his sons Aiah and Anah are mentioned here. Anah is noted elsewhere in the Bible for discovering hot springs in the wilderness while pasturing the donkeys of his father Zibeon (<a href="/genesis/36-24.htm">Genesis 36:24</a>). This detail provides a glimpse into the daily life and activities of these ancient peoples, emphasizing their connection to the land and its resources. The mention of Aiah and Anah also serves to trace the lineage and territorial claims of the Horites, who were eventually assimilated into the Edomite nation. This passage underscores the complex interrelations between different tribes and peoples in the biblical narrative, illustrating the unfolding of God's plan through various human histories.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/shobal.htm">Shobal</a></b><br>A descendant of Seir the Horite, Shobal is listed as one of the chiefs of the Horites.
