Hadad (son of Bedad)

Hadad (Hebrew: הֲדַד), son of Bedad (בְּדַד), was a king of Edom mentioned in the Bible, in Genesis 36:31-43.

He succeeded Husham in the apparently elective kingship of the Edomites.

He is described as having moved the capital of Edom to Avith, and of defeating the Midianites in Moab.

[1] He was succeeded by Samlah of Masrekah.

[2] According to David Mandel, Hadad's rule can be dated to the tenth century BCE.
