'Ruling' in the Bible

Now these are the kings who were ruling in the land of Edom, before there was any king over Israel: Bela, the son of Beor; his town was named Dinhabah.

He had six sons in Hebron; he was ruling there for seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem for thirty-three years.

For forty years he was ruling as king over Israel, seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
