45
who was succeeded by Husam from the Themanite country;

his successor was Adad, son of Badad, who defeated Madian in the territory of Moab; he ruled at Avith.
47
Adad was succeeded by Semla from Masreca,
48
and Semla by Saul from Rohoboth on its river,
49
and Saul by Balanan son of Achobor,
50
and Achobor by Adad who ruled at Phau; his wife’s name was Meëtabel, daughter of Matred, who was daughter of Mezaab.
51
