CHAPTER FIFTY
ONE
These were the kings of Edom before there were kings of Israel. Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom in the city of Dinhabah. Bela dies. Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah replaces Bela. Jobab dies. Husham from the land of Temani replaces Jobab. Husham dies. Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the field of Moab, replaces Husham. The name of Hadad's city is Avith. Hadad dies. Samlah of Masrekah replaces Hadad. Samlah dies. Saul of Rehoboth by the river replaces Samlah. Guess what? Saul dies! Baal-hanan the son of Achbor replaces Saul. Baal-hanan dies. Hadar replaces Baal-hanan. Hadar's city was called Pau. Hadar was married to Mehetabel who was the daughter of Matred who was the daughter of Mezahab. And then Esau came along and had some Dukes and these are them: Duke Timnah, Duke Alvah, Duke Jetheth, Duke Aholibamah, Duke Elah, Duke Pynchon, Duke Kenaz, Duke The Man, Duke Mibzar, Duke Magdiel, and Duke Iram.
STUDY QUESTIONS! Who killed Midian in the field of Moab? Was it Hadad or his father Bedad? Does it matter since nobody even knows who Midian even was? I think it should matter. It should be made clear! Although, I've always found the most useful facts to be ambiguous because then you can just believe whatever you want and nobody can prove you wrong. Why? WHY?! Baal-hanan Baal-hanan Bo-aal-hanan Banana Fana Fo Faal-hanan Fee Fi Mo Maal-hanan BAAL-HAAAAANAN! Mehetabel Mehetabel Bo Behetabel Banana Fana Fo Fehetabel Fee Fi Mo-ehetable MEHEEEEEETABLE! What was the point of listing the kings of Edom? Is it just historical significance? And I thought Esau was Edom, as The Bible has pointed out on several occasions. So are the kings of Edom really the kings of Seir but thought of as the kings of Edom since Esau eventually moves into the place and turns it into Edom? Is Edom even a place since Esau is Edom? Aren't the Edomites just the people who came from Esau? So how can the kings of Edom exist before the Dukes of Esau? Are these the kings who were reigning while Esau was living there and raising his descendants to be Dukes? So when they were old enough, they took over after Hadar? And why was the land suddenly thought of as Edom once Esau moved in? Was it because he was so rich that he sponsored everything, like the fields and the stadiums? Was that last batch of questions too long? Should I have broken it up a bit? It's not like I have any more questions for this section!
Kings
HISTORICAL FACTS Journalists are trained to ask four questions: Who? What? Where? and Will I get sued for printing this? The Name Game (or The Banana Song) went to #3 on The Billboard Charts in 1965, proving that all music sucked in 1965. Pickle Boy's Obscure Facts #4 of 1000: A lot of lives were lost because of Bilbo Baggins. When you read the name 'Achbor' in The Facts section, you thought I was going to make an "It's a trap!" joke. At some point, I'll probably repeat a Historical Fact from another section because I only know so many things. In historical fact, this historical fact might be a repeat itself!
Choose one. A.
What do you think about your favorit sport team's arena or stadium being
named after a corporate sponsor? Does it make you want to buy the sponsor's
product?
DRAWING TIME! Draw the death of one of the kings of Edom. I know The Bible doesn't say how they die. Use your imagination!
WHAT DID CHRISTIAN LITERALISTS LEARN? This half of Chapter Thirty Six is even more boring than the first half of Chapter Thirty Six. |
