| Genesis 36:31 | And the kings that ruled in the land of Edom, before the children of Israel had a king, were these: | A king. See ver. 1. Moses might also add this with reference to the times, when he knew the Hebrews would petition for a king, for whom he gave particular laws. (Menochius) --- These kings were probably foreigners, who subdued the natives. They did not obtain the kingdom by succession. (Calmet) |
