Hadad is a name associated with several rulers in the Bible, and it is also the name of a storm god in ancient Near Eastern cultures, particularly among the Arameans. The death of a leader often signifies a transition of power, which is a common theme in the historical narratives of the Old Testament. The mention of Hadad's death here may indicate a period of change or instability in Edom, a region south of the Dead Sea, which was often in conflict with Israel.<p><b>Now the chiefs of Edom were Timna, Alvah, Jetheth,</b><br>This list of chiefs represents a shift in leadership structure in Edom. The term "chiefs" suggests a tribal or clan-based system of governance, which was typical in the ancient Near East. Each name likely represents a family or clan leader, indicating a decentralized form of leadership.<p><b>Timna</b><br>Timna is also mentioned as a concubine of Eliphaz, Esau's son, in <a href="/genesis/36-12.htm">Genesis 36:12</a>. This connection highlights the interwoven relationships between the Edomites and the descendants of Esau, Jacob's brother. The name Timna is associated with a region or a clan within Edom, suggesting a significant role in the tribal hierarchy.<p><b>Alvah</b><br>Little is known about Alvah, but the name appears in genealogical records, indicating its importance in the lineage of Edom. The repetition of such names in biblical genealogies underscores the importance of heritage and continuity in ancient cultures.<p><b>Jetheth</b><br>Like Alvah, Jetheth is not extensively detailed in the biblical text, but its inclusion in the list of chiefs signifies its role in the leadership of Edom. The mention of these chiefs in 1 Chronicles reflects the chronicler's interest in documenting the history and lineage of Israel's neighbors, providing context for Israel's own story.<br><br>These names and their roles as chiefs highlight the complex social and political structures of Edom, a nation often at odds with Israel but also sharing a common ancestry through Esau. The chronicler's inclusion of Edomite leaders serves to remind the reader of the broader narrative of God's dealings with all nations, not just Israel.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/hadad.htm">Hadad</a></b><br>A king of Edom, mentioned in the genealogies of Edom's rulers.

This appears to state that Hadad was the last king of Edom, and that after his death the country was governed by the heads of the various clans or tribes, without any central authority. In <a href="/genesis/36-40.htm" title="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,">Genesis 36:40</a>, the sentence, "And Hadad died," is wanting, and the transition from the kings to the chiliarchs is thus effected: "And these are the names of the chiliarchs of Esau, after their clans, after their places, by their names: the chiliarch of Timnah," &c. The chiliarchs (<span class= "ital">'all-phim,</span> from <span class= "ital">'eleph,</span> a thousand) were the heads of the thousands or clans (<span class= "ital">mishpehoth</span>) of Edom (<a href="/genesis/36-40.htm" title="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,">Genesis 36:40</a>). (See Note on <a href="/1_chronicles/14-1.htm" title="Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.">1Chronicles 14:1</a>.) The names in these verses are not personal, but tribal and local, as the conclusion of the account in <a href="/genesis/36-43.htm" title="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 36:43</a> indicates: "These are the chiliarchs of Edom, after their seats, in the land of their domain." Comp. the names of the sons of Esau and Seir (<a href="/context/1_chronicles/1-35.htm" title="The sons of Esau; Eliphaz, Reuel, and Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah.">1Chronicles 1:35-42</a>). This makes it clear that Timnah and Aholibamah were towns. The king of Edom is often mentioned elsewhere in the Old Testament. (See <a href="/numbers/20-14.htm" title="And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, Thus said your brother Israel, You know all the travail that has befallen us:">Numbers 20:14</a>; <a href="/context/amos/2-1.htm" title="Thus said the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:">Amos 2:1-8</a> th cent.

According to Ewald (<span class= "ital">Hist.</span> p. 46), the chieftains of Edom follow the list of kings, "as if David had already vanquished the last king of Edom, and put it under" merely tribal government, in subordination to himself. "The Hadad who fled very young to Egypt at David's conquest (<a href="/context/1_kings/11-14.htm" title="And the LORD stirred up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom.">1Kings 11:14-22</a>) may have been grandson of Hadad, the last king." . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_chronicles/1.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 51-54.</span> - H. LIST OF ELEVEN DUKES OF EDOM. These, the remaining verses of ch. 1, appear to give a list of eleven dukes of Edom, emphasized apparently as "the dukes of Edom," as though there were none before or after them. But see <a href="/genesis/36-15.htm">Genesis 36:15, 41, 43</a>, the study of which can scarcely leave a doubt on the mind that this list is not one of persons but of places; <span class="accented">e.g.</span> "the duke" of the city, or region of "Timnah," and so on. The places were <span class="accented">dukedoms.</span> The names of these verses, in both Authorized Version and Hebrew text, are an exact counterpart of those found in <a href="/genesis/36-40.htm">Genesis 36:40-43</a>, except that <span class="cmt_word">Aliah</span> here (so Allan, ver. 40) stands for Alvah in Genesis. In the Septuagint we have <span class="cmt_word">Golada, Elibamas</span>, and <span class="cmt_word">Babsar</span> here, for Gola, Olibemas, and Mazar there. Thus this first chapter contains those genealogical tables which concern the patriarchs from Adam up to Israel, spanning a stretch of some two thousand three hundred years, and embracing also tables of Edom and certain of the descendants of Edom up to the period of kings. The chapter contains not a single instance of a remark that could be described as of a moral, religious, or didactic kind. Yet not a little is to be learnt sometimes, not a little suggested, from omission and solemn silence as well as from speech; no more notable instance of which could perhaps be given, when we take into account time, place, and circumstances, than that already alluded to in the omissions involved in the following of the name of Seth upon that of Adam. The genealogies of this chapter, with their parallels in Genesis, are notable also for standing unique in all the world's writing, and far over all the world's mythology, for retracing the pedigree of the wide family of men, and especially of the now scattered family of the Jew, to its original. From the time of the close of our Chronicle genealogies, supplemented by the earliest of the New Testament, no similarly comprehensive but useful, ambitious but deliberately designed and successfully executed enterprise has been attempted. And as Matthew Henry has well said, since Christ came, the Jews have lost all their genealogies, even the most sacred of them, "the building is reared, the scaffold is removed; the Seed is come, the line that led to him is broken off." <p> <p> <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/1_chronicles/1-51.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Then Hadad</span><br /><span class="heb">הֲדָ֑ד</span> <span class="translit">(hă·ḏāḏ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1908.htm">Strong's 1908: </a> </span><span class="str2">Hadad -- three Edomites</span><br /><br /><span class="word">died.</span><br /><span class="heb">וַיָּ֖מָת</span> <span class="translit">(way·yā·māṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4191.htm">Strong's 4191: </a> </span><span class="str2">To die, to kill</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Now the chiefs</span><br /><span class="heb">אַלּוּפֵ֣י</span> <span class="translit">(’al·lū·p̄ê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_441.htm">Strong's 441: </a> </span><span class="str2">Familiar, a friend, gentle, a bullock, a chieftain</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of Edom [were]</span><br /><span class="heb">אֱד֔וֹם</span> <span class="translit">(’ĕ·ḏō·wm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_123.htm">Strong's 123: </a> </span><span class="str2">The name of a condiment</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Timna,</span><br /><span class="heb">תִּמְנָ֛ע</span> <span class="translit">(tim·nā‘)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8555.htm">Strong's 8555: </a> </span><span class="str2">Timna -- an Edomite name</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Alvah,</span><br /><span class="heb">עַֽלְוָ֖ה</span> <span class="translit">(‘al·wāh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5933.htm">Strong's 5933: </a> </span><span class="str2">Aliah -- an Edomite</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Jetheth,</span><br /><span class="heb">יְתֵֽת׃</span> <span class="translit">(yə·ṯêṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3509.htm">Strong's 3509: </a> </span><span class="str2">Jetheth -- an Edomite</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/1_chronicles/1-51.htm">1 Chronicles 1:51 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/1_chronicles/1-51.htm">1 Chronicles 1:51 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/1_chronicles/1-51.htm">1 Chronicles 1:51 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/1_chronicles/1-51.htm">1 Chronicles 1:51 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/1_chronicles/1-51.htm">1 Chronicles 1:51 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/1_chronicles/1-51.htm">1 Chronicles 1:51 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/1_chronicles/1-51.htm">1 Chronicles 1:51 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/1_chronicles/1-51.htm">1 Chronicles 1:51 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/1_chronicles/1-51.htm">1 Chronicles 1:51 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/1_chronicles/1-51.htm">1 Chronicles 1:51 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/1_chronicles/1-51.htm">OT History: 1 Chronicles 1:51 Hadad died (1 Chron. 1Ch iCh i Ch 1 chr 1chr)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/1_chronicles/1-50.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1 Chronicles 1:50"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1 Chronicles 1:50" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/1_chronicles/1-52.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1 Chronicles 1:52"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1 Chronicles 1:52" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
