These are the sons of Dishon

on Genesis 36:26-30

The Horite chiefs carry the title Esau's chiefs carry, so two sets of chiefs hold one country at once, and Gill notes that these ruled together where the kings named next ruled one at a time. Uz stands in verse 28. Lamentations 4:21 puts the daughter of Edom in the land of Uz, the name Job's own land carries.
