These are the dukes that came of the Horites,.... Not that succeeded one after another, as the kings next mentioned did, but were together, at the same time, heads of respective families, and governors of them; and then the seven sons of Seir are rehearsed in this verse and Gen 36:30 in their order, with the title of "duke" annexed to each of them, "Duke Lotan", &c.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)reformed
Note, When power is abused, it is just with God to weaken it, by turning it into divers channels. For the transgression of a land, many are the princes thereof. Sin brought Edom from kings to dukes, from crowns to coronets.
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
God had lately promised Jacob that kings should come out of his loins ( ch. xxxv. 11 ), yet Esau's blood becomes royal long before any of Jacob's did. Note, In external prosperity and honour, the children of the covenant are often cast behind, and those that are out of covenant get the start.
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
