Dishon, as the son of Anah, is part of the Horite lineage, a group that inhabited the region of Seir before the Edomites. This connection highlights the complex interrelations between different tribes and peoples in the ancient Near East. The Horites are mentioned in <a href="/genesis/36.htm">Genesis 36</a>, where they are described as the original inhabitants of the land of Seir, which later became Edomite territory. This genealogical record underscores 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 Abrahamic family.<p><b>The sons of Dishon: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran.</b><br>The listing of Dishon's sons provides insight into the continuation of the Horite lineage. Each name represents a branch of the family that would have contributed to the population and culture of the region. Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran are not widely mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, which suggests that their significance lies primarily in their role within the genealogical record. This record serves to establish the historical and familial context of the peoples surrounding Israel. The genealogies in Chronicles often emphasize the interconnectedness of various tribes and nations, reflecting the broader narrative of God's work in history. These names, though not prominent, are part of the tapestry of God's unfolding plan, illustrating the diversity and complexity of the ancient world.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/anah.htm">Anah</a></b><br>Anah is a descendant of Seir the Horite, mentioned in the genealogies of Esau's descendants.
