Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.
Commentary on Genesis 10:291 voice
Shem, the third son of Noah, had five sons, who inhabited the land that began at Euphrates, and reached to the Indian Ocean. For Elam left behind him the Elamites, the ancestors of the Persians.

- Genesis 36:33
When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah reigned in his place.
Commentary on Genesis 36:332 voices
(Verse 33.) And Jobab, son of Zerah from Bozrah, reigned in his place. Some suspect that this is the same Job, as it is added at the end of his own book. However, the Hebrews assert that he was descended from Nahor, as has already been said.
Jerome· Hebrew Questions on GenesisPatristic
Jobab the son of Zerah - Many have supposed that Jobab is the same as Job, so remarkable for his afflictions and patience; and that Eliphaz, mentioned Gen 36:10, etc., was the same who in the book of Job is called one of his friends: but there is no proper proof of this, and there are many reasons against it.

- Genesis 36:34
When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.
Commentary on Genesis 36:342 voices
And Jobab died,.... According to Mr. Bedford, A. M. 2177: and Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his stead; or of the land of the south, as the Targum of Jonathan, of the southern part of the land of Idumea, as it was afterwards called; the metropolis of which was the city of Teman, after spoken of in Scripture, which had its name from Teman the son of Eliphaz; See Gill on Gen 36:11.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Little more is recorded than their names, because the history of those that were out of the church (though perhaps it might have been serviceable in politics) would have been of little use in divinity. It is in the church that the memorable instances are found of special grace, and special providence; for that is the enclosure, the rest is common.

- Joshua 11:1
Now when Jabin king of Hazor heard about these things, he sent word to Jobab king of Madon; to the kings of Shimron and Achshaph;
Commentary on Joshua 11:12 voices
Jabin ("the Intelligent"), which seems to have been a hereditary title (Jud 4:2), took the lead, from Hazor being the capital of the northern region (Jos 11:10). It was situated on the borders of lake Merom. The other cities mentioned must have been in the vicinity though their exact position is unknown.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871Reformed
Jabin - Probably the hereditary and official title of the kings of Hazor (see Jdg 4:2). The word means literally “he shall understand,” and is equivalent to “the wise” or “intelligent.” Hazor - This name, which means “enclosed or “fortified,” belonged also to two other towns in the south of Judah (compare Jos 15:23, Jos 15:25). The Hazor here in question, the head of the principalities of Northern Canaan Jos 11:10 overlooked the lake of Merom, and was afterward assigned to the tribe of Naphtali Jos 19:

Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 1:232 voices
Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth--The three sons of this patriarch are enumerated, partly because they were the founders of the new world, and partly because the fulfilment of Noah's prophecy (Ge 9:25-27) could not otherwise appear to have been verified.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871Reformed
The great promise of the Messiah (says bishop Patrick) was translated from Adam to Seth, from him to Shem, from him to Eber, and so to the Hebrew nation, who were entrusted, above all nations, with that sacred treasure, till the promise was performed and the Messiah had come, and then that nation was made not a people.

- 1 Chronicles 1:44
When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah reigned in his place.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 1:441 voice
Bela was dead - “Being killed by Phineas, in the wilderness.” - T. Jobab the son of Zerah - Supposed by some to be the same as Job, whose book forms a part of the canon of Scripture. But in their names there is no similarity; Job being written איוב aiyob; Jobab, יובב yobab. See the notes on Job, and the parallel place in Genesis.

- 1 Chronicles 1:45
When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.
- 1 Chronicles 8:9
His sons by his wife Hodesh:
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 8:92 voices
And he begat of Hodesh his wife,.... That is, he, I say, begat, namely, Shaharaim; the Targum makes this Hodesh to be the same with Baara, called so because she was newly espoused; but wrongly: the sons begotten of her were the seven following; Jobab, Zibia, Mesha, Malcham, Jeuz, Shachia, and Mirma. These were his sons; the sons of Shaharaim by his wife Hodesh: heads of the fathers; of the houses or families of their father.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
He begat of Hodesh his wife - In the preceding verse it is said that Hushim and Baara were his wives; and here it is said he begat of Hodesh his wife, etc. And then his children by Hushim are mentioned, but not a word of Baara! It is likely therefore that Hodesh was another name for Baara, and this is asserted by the Targum: And he begot of Baara, that is Chodesh, his wife; so called because he espoused her anew. It is supposed that he had put her away before, and now remarried her.

- 1 Chronicles 8:18
Ishmerai, Izliah, and Jobab were the sons of Elpaal.
