(39) Hadar.—He is more correctly called Hadad in the Samaritan text here, and in the Hebrew also in 1Ch_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 Gen_36:1) he was probably alive when this catalogue of kings was drawn up.

And Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar (1Ch_1:50) reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pau; Pal; (1Ch_1:50) "Bleating" (Gesenius), "Yawning" (Furst), with which accords Fogwr (LXX)and his wife"s name was Mehetabel, God benefits" (Gesenius)the daughter of Marred, (Gesenius)the daughter of Mezahab of Gold" (Gesenius). That the death of this king, which a later chronicler records, (1Ch_1:51) is not here mentioned by the historian is commonly regarded (Rosenm 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.
