'Reigned' in the Bible

Here's a list of kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the Israelis, beginning with Beor's son Bela (his city was named Dinhabah).

These six were born to him in Hebron, where he reigned for seven years and six months.

He reigned 33 years in Jerusalem. These four children were born to David by Bath-shua daughter of Ammiel while he was living in Jerusalem: Shimea, Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

So David reigned over all of Israel, administering justice and equity to all of his people.

Jesse's son David reigned as king over all of Israel,

serving as king over Israel for 40 years. He reigned for seven years in Hebron and for 33 in Jerusalem.
