3 notes on this verse
The children of Dishon are these,.... The last of the seven sons of Seir, and who had two sons: Uz and Aran; from the former of these the land of Uz, inhabited by the Edomites, had its name, Lam 4:21; some have taken this to be the country of Job, Job 1:1.

This site's exposition

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. Gill notes that the Horite chiefs ruled together, and the kings named next ruled one at a time. Lamentations 4:21 puts the daughter of Edom in the land of Uz.

These are the sons of Dishan

Genesis names three men called Uz: a son of Aram at Genesis 10:23, Nahor's firstborn at Genesis 22:21, and this Horite. Jeremiah 25:20 names the kings of the land of Uz.
