Old Testament

Baal-hanan

A king of Edom and the son of Achbor, mentioned in the genealogical records of Genesis and 1 Chronicles.

Baal-hanan was the seventh king of Edom listed in the royal genealogies of Genesis 36:38-39 and 1 Chronicles 1:49-50. His inclusion serves to document the historical succession of Edomite rulers alongside the lineage of Israel. He succeeded Hadar and reigned before the rise of the tribal chiefs of Edom.
