Edom's Subjection to Judah
Commentators explain that this verse is a key political note. Edom, a neighboring nation, did not have its own independent king but was ruled by a deputy under the authority of Judah's King Jehoshaphat. This control, which some scholars trace back to King David, demonstrates the strength and influence of Judah's kingdom during this period.
