Commentary
5 notes on this verseSmote Midian in the field of Moab - Bishop Cumberland supposes that this was Midian, the son of Abraham by Keturah, and that he was killed by Hadad some time before he was one hundred and nine years of age; and that Moses recorded this, probably, because it was a calamity to the ancestor of Jethro, his father-in-law - Orig. of Nat., p. 14.
This site's exposition
Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah reigned in his place
on Genesis 36:33-36
Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah follows Bela, and some have taken this Jobab for Job. Jerome reports that reading from the Hebrews and from the close of the Greek book of Job, while Clarke answers that there is no proper proof of it. Hadad son of Bedad defeated Midian in the country of Moab.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening3 voices
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.
These are the names - Observe here, 1. That only the names of Esau's sons and grand-sons are recorded: not their history, for it is the church that Moses preserves the records of, not of those that were without. The elders only that lived by faith obtained a good report.
And Husham died,.... As is thought, about A. M.
