Genesis 36 - Esau's descendants

Esau's wives
1. Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite.
2. Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah son of Zibeon the Hivite.
3. Basemath, the daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.

Adah bore Eliphaz;
Basemath bore Reuel;
Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.

Eliphaz's sons: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, Kenaz, Amalek.
Reuel's sons: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah.

Oholibamah descended from the original inhabitants of Edom.

The original inhabitants of the land of Edom were descendants of Seir, a Horite:
Seir's descendants : Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Ezer, and Dishan.

Lotan -> Hori and Heman.
Shobal -> Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.
Zibeon -> Aiah and Anah.
Ezer -> Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan.
Dishan -> Uz and Aran.

Anah -> Dishon, who was the ancestor of the clans of Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran. Anah also had a daughter named Oholibamah.

Before there were any kings in Israel, there were kings in the land of Edom. It seems like God made Esau's descendants nations before Jacob's or his descendants became so. It was Jacob's faith which carried him forward.
