The rabbis in Jerusalem would look down upon him, I fear, as a son of a dog of Edom. How came he in possession of the Orchard? And how has he been able to hold it against the greed of Roman governors?" "If blood derives excellence from time, son of Arrius, then is old Ilderim a man, though he be an uncircumcised Edomite." Malluch spoke warmly. "All his fathers before him were sheiks.
It may be that Gideon's success against the Midianite oppressors of Gilead was one of the results of their overthrow by the Edomite prince. At the same time, Midianitish supremacy did not mean the destruction of the Moabite kingdom. Moab was still governed by its own kings, tributary vassals though they were to the foreigner.
Their wisdom was celebrated in Palestine like that of their Edomite neighbours of Teman, and the highest praise that could be bestowed on Solomon was that his "wisdom excelled all the wisdom of the children of the East." Not far from the camping-places of the Kadmonites was the land of Uz, famous as the home of Job.
These kings of the Edomites were all of them foreigners not of Edom, and it is probable that the history of their tyrannical rule and oppression of their Edomite subjects was well known to the people in Moses's time. There remains the division of the ceremonial laws, which are the subject of dispute.
The "city of Edom," from which the country took its name, is again mentioned in the inscriptions of the Assyrian king Esar-haddon, and it was there that the Assyrian tax-gatherers collected the tribute of the Edomite nation.
Her husband had been none other than Obadiah, who, though a prophet, had at the same time been one of the highest officials at the court of the sinful king Ahab. By birth an Edomite, Obadiah had been inspired by God to utter the prophecy against Edom.
Then Saul said to Doeg, "Turn and kill the priests." So Doeg, the Edomite, turned and killed them. On that day he killed eighty-five men who wore the priestly robes. But Abiathar, one of the sons of Ahimelech, escaped and fled to David.
Alexander the Great's conquest of the East left a Macedonian dynasty ruling those regions, and one of their great kings, Antiochus Epiphanes, tried to stamp out the religion of Jehovah altogether. What did God mean? Out of all the promises to Israel, to the House of David, this is what comes. Herod follows a foreign king and an Edomite; and the Romans are over all, suzerains and rulers.
He there took a city which bore the same name as the country a city previously, he tells us, taken by his father and transported the inhabitants into Assyria, at the same time carrying off certain images of the Edomite gods.
The desert between Palestine and Egypt was his chief camping-ground. He had occupied the wadis of Mount Seir before the Edomites had entered them, and a part of the later population of the country traced its descent from a mixture of the Bedâwi with the Edomite. The Egyptians had many names for the Bedâwin hordes.
