Description
Who was Hadad?
Hadad, son of Bedad, was a king of Edom mentioned in Gen.36.35-36 and 1Ch.1.46-47. He succeeded Husham as king of Edom. Hadad defeated the Midianites in the country of Moab, which suggests that during his reign, Edom had a military conflict with Midian. The city of Avith is mentioned as the place where Hadad reigned, but its exact location is unknown.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
The 10 best-attested of 12 are drawn. All 12 are listed below.
