What do you do in a book called 1 Chronicles? You chronicle stuff, I suppose. This chapter starts at the beginning, with Adam, and ends up with the death of Hadad, and the chiefs of Edom, who descended from Esau at the fooling of Isaac. Basically its a list of the important people. Not much to it here...everyone's here, up to Jacob and Esau. I guess the main thing to take here is that there was some history from Esau to Edom, which more or less disppears from view during the times of the conquest, save for some battles here and there against Edom. Bela, son of Beor is probably the most ... infamous? I guess we'll see what happens to Israel later.
It's a pause in the action.
