More About Ancient Edomites
Edom in Smiths Bible Dictionary (red). The name Edom was given to Esau, the
first-born son of Isaac and twin brother of Jacob, when he sold his birthright
to the latter for a meal of lentil pottage. The country which the Lord
subsequently gave to Esau was hence called "the country of Edom," Ge 32:3 and
his descendants were called Edomites. Edom was called Mount Seir and Idumea
also. Edom was wholly a mountainous country. It embraced the narrow mountainous
tract (about 100 miles long by 20 broad) extending along the eastern side of the
Arabah from the northern end of the Gulf of Elath to near the southern end of
the Dead Sea. The ancient capital of Edom was Bozrah (Buseireh). Sela (Petra)
appears to have been the principal stronghold in the days of Amaziah (B.C. 838).
2Ki 14:7 Elath and Ezion-geber were the seaports. 2Sa 8:14; 1Ki 9:26 History.
--Esau's bitter hatred to his brother Jacob for fraudulently obtaining his
blessing appears to have been inherited by his latest posterity. The Edomites
peremptorily refused to permit the Israelites to pass through their land. Nu
20:18-21 For a period of 400 years we hear no more of the Edomites. They were
then attacked and defeated by Saul, 1Sa 14:47 and some forty years later by
David. 2Sa 8:13,14 In the reign of Jehoshaphat (B.c. 914) the Edomites attempted
to invade Israel, but failed. 2Ch 20:22 They joined Nebuchadnezzar when that
king besieged Jerusalem. For their cruelty at this time they were fearfully
denounced by the later prophets. Isa 34:5-8; 63:1-4; Jer 49:17 After this they
settled in southern Israel, and for more than four centuries continued to
prosper. But during the warlike rule of the Maccabees they were again completely
subdued, and even forced to conform to Jewish laws and rites, and submit to the
government of Jewish prefects. The Edomites were now incorporated with the
Jewish nation. They were idolaters. 2Ch 25:14,15,20 Their habits were singular.
The Horites, their predecessors in Mount Seir, were, as their name implies,
troglodytes, or dwellers in caves; and the Edomites seem to have adopted their
dwellings as well as their country. Everywhere we meet with caves and grottos
hewn in the soft sandstone strata.
