SCRIPTURE

"chief Korah, chief Gatam, chief Amalek: these are the chiefs that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Adah." — Genesis 36:16 (ASV)

Duke Korah
Only among the sons of Eliphaz is reckoned Duke Korah, not before mentioned among his sons, and is left out in the Samaritan version; (See Gill on Genesis 36:7); to which it may be added, that according to Gerundinsis F1 , this is the same with Timna, related among the sons of Eliphaz, (1 Chronicles 1:36); who was called by his father Korah: or this might be a grandson of Eliphaz.
