And the sons of (l) Seir; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah, and Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan.
(l) He is also called Seir the Horite, who inhabited mount Seir, (Genesis 36:20).

And the sons of Seir,.... This man and his posterity were not of the race of Esau, but are mentioned because they were a family into which Esau, and a son of his, married, and whose possessions he and his obtained. The account from hence, to the end of 1-Chronicles 1:42 is the same with Genesis 36:20, with some little variation of names.

Seir - One of another nation, prince of the Horims; whose genealogy is here described, because of that affinity which was contracted between his and Esau's posterity; and those who were not united and incorporated with them, were destroyed by them. See Deuteronomy 2:12.
