30 Chief Dishon, Chief Ezer, and Chief Dishan. These were the chiefs of the Horites, according to their chiefs in the land of Seir.
31 Now these were the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the children of Israel:
32 Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom, and the name of his city was Dinhabah.
33 And when Bela died, Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his place.
34 When Jobab died, Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.
35 And when Husham died, Hadad the son of Bedad, who attacked Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his place. And the name of his city was Avith.
36 When Hadad died, Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place.
37 And when Samlah died, Saul of Rehoboth-by-the-River reigned in his place.
38 When Saul died, Baal-Hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his place.
39 And when Baal-Hanan the son of Achbor died, Hadar reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Pau. His wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.
40 And these were the names of the chiefs of Esau, according to their families and their places, by their names: Chief Timnah, Chief Alvah, Chief Jetheth,
41 Chief Aholibamah, Chief Elah, Chief Pinon,
42 Chief Kenaz, Chief Teman, Chief Mibzar,
43 Chief Magdiel, and Chief Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom, according to their dwelling places in the land of their possession. Esau was the father of the Edomites.
ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 22ND AUGUST 2024.
Our text introduces the list of kings that reigned in the land of Edom, all from the loins of Esau, the brother of Jacob (Israel). The God who watches over His word to perform it had told Jacob “Kings shall come from your body” (Gen. 35:11c). This took several years to come to fulfillment in King Saul (I Sam. 10:24). The high point in our text is verse 31. Notice the preposition “Before.” It is the gap between prophecy and its fulfillment. It revealed the progress Esau had made in bringing forth a multitude of kings and chiefs while Jacob his brother, who has a similar promise from God still awaited the fulfillment of God’s promise in its time.
Jacob understood that following God is an individual commitment. He obeyed and waited for God’s time. Do you feel left behind as you follow the Lord while your mates are making strides? Are you already toeing the path of compromise just to prove a point? Are you overwhelmed with the spirit of competition, forgetting that you are unique? Learn to trust God; for He watches over His word to perform it (Jer. 1: 12). Obey and depend on Him today.
PRAYER: Please Lord, help me to know that I am peculiar and that your dealings with me are different from others.
