When Husham died
The phrase marks a transition of leadership, a common theme in the genealogical and historical records of the Bible. The death of a leader often signifies a change in the political and spiritual climate of the time. In Hebrew, "Husham" (חוּשָׁם) is a name that may mean "haste" or "eager," suggesting a possible characteristic of his reign or personality. The death of a leader in biblical times often led to uncertainty and the potential for new beginnings or challenges.

Hadad son of Bedad
"Hadad" (הֲדַד) is a name associated with a storm god in ancient Near Eastern cultures, particularly among the Arameans and Canaanites. This name might indicate the influence of surrounding cultures on Edom, where these kings ruled. "Bedad" (בְּדַד) is less clear in meaning but is part of the genealogical record that ties Hadad to his ancestry, emphasizing the importance of lineage and heritage in biblical narratives.

who defeated Midian
This phrase highlights a significant military achievement. The Midianites were a nomadic people often in conflict with Israel and its neighbors. The defeat of Midian by Hadad suggests a period of strength and expansion for Edom. In the broader biblical context, Midian is frequently associated with opposition to God's people, as seen in the account of Gideon in Judges. This victory would have been a notable event, enhancing Hadad's reputation and authority.

in the country of Moab
Moab was a region east of the Dead Sea, often in conflict with Israel but also with other neighboring nations. The mention of Moab situates the event geographically and historically, indicating the extent of Hadad's influence and the geopolitical dynamics of the time. Moab's history is intertwined with Israel's, as seen in the account of Ruth and the frequent interactions between the two peoples.

reigned in his place
This phrase indicates the continuation of leadership and governance. The Hebrew root for "reigned" (מָלַךְ) implies not just ruling but also the establishment of order and justice. In the biblical context, a king's reign is often evaluated by his adherence to God's laws and his ability to maintain peace and prosperity.

The name of his city was Avith
"Avith" (עֲוִית) is mentioned as the city associated with Hadad's reign. The naming of a city often reflects its significance as a center of power or culture. While little is known archaeologically about Avith, its mention underscores the importance of urban centers in ancient governance and the role they played in the administration and control of territories.

(35) Who smote Midian . . . --All memory of this exploit has passed away, and the complete silence of the Bible regarding every one of these kings, makes it probable that they belonged to an early date prior to the time in Israel when historical events were carefully recorded.

Verse 35. - And Husham died, and Hadad - "Shouting," e.g. for joy (Gesenius); whence "Conqueror" (Furst) - the son of Bedad, - "Separation" (Gesenius) - who smote Midian (vide Genesis 25:2) in the field of Moab (vide Genesis 19:37), reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Avith - "Ruins" (Gesenius), "Twisting" (Murphy), "Hut-Village" (Furst). An attempt has been made (Bohlen) to identify this monarch with the Edomite of the same name who rose against Solomon (1 Kings 11:14); but

(1) this Hadad was not of royal blood, while Solomon's contemporary was;

(2) this Hadad was a king, while Solomon's adversary was only a pretender;

(3) this Hadad was a conqueror of the Midianites, while in Solomon's time the Midianites had vanished from history; and . . .
