Husham (Edomite king)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Husham was a king of Edom mentioned in the Bible, in Genesis 36:31-43. He succeeded Jobab ben Zerah in the apparently elective kingship of the Edomites.[1] He is mentioned as being from "the land of Temani", which may refer to the Edomite clan Teman. Husham was succeeded upon his death by Hadad ben Bedad.[2]

The date and even historicity of his reign are unknown, as he is not mentioned in any other surviving source.
