- Genesis 36:16
Korah, Gatam, and Amalek. They are the chiefs of Eliphaz in the land of Edom, and they are the grandsons of Adah.
Commentary on Genesis 36:162 voices
Duke Korah - This Dr. Kennicott pronounces to be an interpolation. It is certain, from Gen 36:4, that Eliphaz was Esaus son by Adah; and from Gen 36:11, Gen 36:12, that Eliphaz had but six sons, Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, Kenaz, and Amalek. It is also certain, from Gen 36:5, Gen 36:14, that Korah was the son of Esau (not of Eliphaz) by Aholibamah; and as such he is properly mentioned in Gen 36:18: These are the sons of Aholibamah, Esaus wife: duke Jeush, duke Jaalam, Duke Korah.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
The head of each tribe was called by a term which in our version is rendered "duke"--not of the high rank and wealth of a British peer, but like the sheiks or emirs of the modern East, or the chieftains of highland clans. Fourteen are mentioned who flourished contemporaneously.

- 1 Chronicles 1:36
The sons of Eliphaz: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz; and by Timna, Amalek.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 1:362 voices
Timna - There is another Timna, the concubine of Eliphaz, Gen. xxxvi, 12, but this was one of his sons, though called by the same name; there being some names common both to men and women in the Hebrew and in other languages.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
Timna - In Gen 36:11, Eliphaz has no son Timna; but he has a concubine of the name, who is the mother of Amalek, and conjectured to be Lotans sister 1Ch 1:39. The best explanation is, that the writer has in his mind rather the tribes descended from Eliphaz than his actual children, and as there was a place, Timna, inhabited by his dukes (1Ch 1:51; compare Gen. 35:40), he puts the race which lived there among his sons.
