Edom

King Solomon also assembled a fleet of ships at Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth in Edom, on the shore of the Red Sea.

Then the LORD raised up against Solomon an adversary, Hadad the Edomite, from the royal line of Edom.

Earlier, when David was in Edom, Joab the commander of the army had gone to bury the dead and had struck down every male in Edom.

Joab and all Israel had stayed there six months, until he had killed every male in Edom.

And there was no king in Edom; a deputy served as king.

Then he asked, “Which way shall we go up?” “By way of the Desert of Edom,” replied Joram.

So the king of Israel, the king of Judah, and the king of Edom set out, and after they had traveled a roundabout route for seven days, they had no water for their army or for their animals.

Jehoshaphat affirmed, “The word of the LORD is with him.” So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.

The next morning, at the time of the morning sacrifice, water suddenly flowed from the direction of Edom and filled the land.

When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too fierce for him, he took with him seven hundred swordsmen to break through to the king of Edom, but they could not prevail.

In the days of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against the hand of Judah and appointed their own king.

So to this day Edom has been in rebellion against the hand of Judah. Likewise, Libnah rebelled at the same time.

You have indeed defeated Edom, and your heart has become proud. Glory in that and stay at home. Why should you stir up trouble so that you fall—you and Judah with you?”

These are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the Israelites: Bela son of Beor. His city was named Dinhabah.

Then Hadad died. Now the chiefs of Edom were Timna, Alvah, Jetheth,

Magdiel, and Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom.

and King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had carried off from all these nations—from Edom and Moab, and from the Ammonites, Philistines, and Amalekites.

He placed garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.

Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of Edom.

Then some men came and told Jehoshaphat, “A vast army is coming against you from Edom, from beyond the Sea; they are already in Hazazon-tamar” (that is, En-gedi).

But Amaziah would not listen, for this had come from God in order to deliver them into the hand of Jehoash, because they had sought the gods of Edom.

You have rejected us, O God; You have broken us; You have been angry; restore us!

Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
