(39) Hadar.--He is more correctly called Hadad in the Samaritan text here, and in the Hebrew also in 1Chronicles 1:50. The two letters r and d are in Hebrew so much alike, that they are repeatedly confused with one another. As we have already observed (see Note on Genesis 36:1) he was probably alive when this catalogue of kings was drawn up.

Verse 39. - And Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar - Hadad (1 Chronicles 1:50) - reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pau; - Pal (1 Chronicles 1:50); "Bleating" (Gesenius), "Yawning" (Furst), with which accords Φογώρ (LXX.) - and his wife's name was Mehetabel, - "Whom God benefits" (Gesenius) - the daughter of Marred, - "Pushing" (Gesenius) - the daughter of Mezahab - "Water of Gold" (Gesenius). That the death of this king, which a later chronicler records (1 Chronicles 1:51), is not here mentioned by the historian is commonly regarded (Rosenmüller, Havernick, Hengstenberg, Keil, Kalisch, et alii) as a proof that he was then alive, and that in fact he was the king of Edom to whom Moses sent ambassadors requesting permission to pass through the land (Numbers 20:14).
