What does Genesis 36:38 mean?

Edom is the nation which came from Esau (Genesis 36:1). Their people took over the country of Seir (Genesis 36:6–8), conquering it from the Horites (Genesis 14:6; Deuteronomy 2:12). During this period, the nation which came from Esau's twin brother, Israel (Genesis 35:10) spent centuries enslaved (Exodus 12:40). Even after they were freed, it was many years before Israel had a king (Judges 21:25; 1 Samuel 8:45).

After the death of King Shaul (Genesis 36:37), Baal-hanan took the throne. His name means "Baal is gracious," an overt reference to the main idol of the Canaanites. Scripture provides no details about his father, or why he was given the name Achbor, literally meaning "mouse."

For the first time in this list, no city name is given along with the king.
