And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion-geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.

And the LORD stirred up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was a descendant of the king in Edom.

For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the army had gone up to bury the slain, after he had killed every male in Edom;

(For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom:)

There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king.
