When Husham died
Husham was one of the early kings of Edom, a region south of the Dead Sea. The Edomites were descendants of Esau, Jacob's brother, and often had a contentious relationship with Israel. The death of a king often signified a transition of power, which could lead to instability or change in leadership style. This phrase indicates a historical transition in Edom's monarchy.

Hadad son of Bedad
Hadad is a name associated with a storm god in ancient Near Eastern cultures, particularly among the Arameans and Canaanites. The use of this name suggests possible cultural influences or religious syncretism in Edom. Bedad, Hadad's father, is otherwise unknown, but his mention highlights the importance of lineage and heritage in ancient societies.

who defeated Midian in the country of Moab
This victory over Midianites, who were nomadic tribes often in conflict with Israel and its neighbors, suggests Hadad's military prowess. Moab, located east of the Dead Sea, was a region frequently mentioned in the Bible, often in conflict with Israel. This victory would have been significant in establishing Hadad's reputation and securing his rule.

reigned in his place
The phrase indicates the succession of Hadad to the throne of Edom. Succession was a critical aspect of maintaining stability and continuity in ancient monarchies. This transition also reflects the political dynamics of the time, where military success often legitimized a ruler's claim to the throne.

And the name of his city was Avith
Avith is mentioned as the city associated with Hadad's reign. While its exact location is unknown, the mention of a city underscores the importance of urban centers as seats of power and administration in ancient kingdoms. Cities were often fortified and served as symbols of a king's strength and influence.

Teaching Points
The Sovereignty of God in Leadership Changes
The transition from Husham to Hadad illustrates God's control over leadership and nations. Even in genealogies, we see God's hand in history.

The Importance of Historical Context
Understanding the historical and geographical context of Moab and Midian enriches our comprehension of biblical events and God's dealings with nations.

God's Judgment and Deliverance
The defeat of Midian by Hadad can be seen as a form of divine judgment, reminding us of God's justice and the eventual triumph of His purposes.

Legacy and Influence
The mention of Hadad's victory and his city, Avith, suggests the lasting impact leaders can have. Our actions and decisions can leave a legacy for future generations.

The Role of Genealogies in Scripture
Genealogies, like those in 1 Chronicles, serve to connect us to the broader account of God's work through history, emphasizing continuity and faithfulness.(46) Hadad.--The name of a Syrian deity, a form of the sun-god. (Comp. the royal titles, Ben-hadad and Hadadezer, 1Chronicles 18:3, and the Note on 2Kings 5:18.) Hadad is the same as Dadi, a Syrian title of Rimmon. Perhaps the classical Attis is equivalent to Dadis. The cry of the vintagers (h?d?d) seems to show that Hadad, like Bacchus, was regarded as the giver of the grapes (Isaiah 16:9-10).

Which smote Midian.--A glimpse of the restless feuds which prevailed from time immemorial between these tribes and peoples of kindred origin. Like the judges of Israel, the kings of Edom seem to have been raised to their position owing to special emergencies.

The field of Moab.--That is, the open country.

Avith.--Like Dinhabah, and Pai, and Masretah, unknown beyond this passage. In the Hebrew of Chron. it is spelt, Ayuth; in Genesis 36 Awith. The letters w and y have been transposed in our text.
