Promise Over Possession
Commentators highlight a key spiritual lesson from this list of Edomite kings. While Esau's descendants, like King Hadar, enjoyed earthly power and a kingdom in possession, God's people were slaves in Egypt with only a promise. This serves as a trial of faith, teaching that it is far better to have God's future promise (Canaan) than the world's immediate prosperity (Mount Seir).
