What does Genesis 36:12 mean?

The previous verse listed the sons of Esau's son Eliphaz (Genesis 36:11). Now one more son is mentioned, this one born to him by a concubine named Timna. The son's name is Amalek, which means "lives in the valley."

The Amalekite people became one of Israel's worst enemies (Exodus 17:8, 16; Deuteronomy 25:17–19; 1 Samuel 15:2–3).
