Commentary
2 notes on this verseThe record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
Adam was the common father of our flesh, Abraham the common father of the faithful. By the breach which the former made of the covenant of innocency, we were all made miserable; by the covenant of grace made with the latter, we all are, or may be, made happy. We all are, by nature, the seed of Adam, branches of that wild olive.
The Nineteenth Century1 voice
Hadad died - “And his kingdom ended; for his land was subdued by the children of Esau, and the dukes of Edom ruled in the land of Gebala.” - T. For various particulars in this chapter, see Genesis 10 (note) and Genesis 36 (note), and the parallel places.
