The sons of Eliphaz; Teman, and Omar, Zephi, and Gatam, Kenaz, and Timna, and Amalek.
1 Chronicles 1:36 stands among the Bible's long lists of names, which do not strike every reader as equally interesting or useful. Like the rest of Scripture, it was written and preserved by the direction of God's Spirit. Its accurate preservation as part of the genealogy was necessary to the development and certainty of the gospel. The genealogical record preserves the origin and distribution of races and supplies material for the study of ethnology. Such details show that the Bible holds depths for scholars as well as truths readily understood by ordinary readers.
