What Does 1 Chronicles 1:42 Mean?

The Horite line ends with Ezer's sons, Bilhan, Zavan, and Jakan, and Dishan's sons, Uz and Aran. With these names the writer completes the record of Seir's people, the earlier inhabitants of the land that became Edom.

Having honored both the Horites and the descendants of Esau who settled among them, the chronicle has given the land of Edom its full history. The God who watched over these transitions of peoples watches still. From this thorough accounting the writer now turns to the kings who would rule in Edom.
