What Does 1 Chronicles 1:45 Mean?
At Jobab's death the kingship of Edom came to Husham, a man of the land of the Temanites, a region in the south known for its wise men. The writer keeps the succession moving, marking each change of ruler with the same steady words.
Once more a king dies and another succeeds him, the pattern unbroken. The chronicle lets the reader feel the relentless turnover of Edom's thrones. Earthly rule is borrowed and brief, handed on again and again, while only the kingdom God establishes endures from generation to generation.
