What does Genesis 36:37 mean?

Kings ruled the land of Edom (Genesis 14:6; 36:1, 31; Deuteronomy 2:12) before Israel had appointed their first king (Judges 21:25). This is partly due to Israel's centuries-long captivity in Egypt (Exodus 12:40).

After the death of Samlah, Shaul became king, ruling from Rehoboth, a city on the Euphrates River. The name translated as "Shaul" is the same name as "Saul," though this is not the same person as the first of Israel's kings (1 Samuel 8:4–5; 11:14–15).
