Context — The Succession of Kings in Edomgenerated
Genesis 36:38 describes the transition of power in Edom after the death of Shaul. This verse is part of a larger narrative that lists the kings of Edom, illustrating the lineage and governance of the region. Following Shaul's reign, Baal-hanan, the son of Achbor, ascended to the throne, demonstrating the continuity of leadership in Edom's history.
Cross References
The Key Word — וַיִּמְלֹ֣ךְ, vai.yim.Lokhgenerated
The verb מָלַךְ (malak) means to reign or rule, emphasizing the authority of a king. It is derived from a root that conveys the idea of governance and leadership, and it appears frequently in contexts related to royal authority throughout the Hebrew Bible.
In this verse, the form yimlokh is a sequential imperfect, indicating that Baal-hanan began to reign immediately after Shaul's death. This structure highlights the continuity of leadership and the importance of succession in the narrative of Edom's kings.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses reigned for וַיִּמְלֹ֣ךְ.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb וַיָּ֖מָת (he died) governs the sentence, with the subject שָׁא֑וּל (Shaul) following it. The second verb וַיִּמְלֹ֣ךְ (he reigned) introduces the new subject, Baal-hanan, who takes over after Shaul.
The Hebrew structure places the verbs prominently, indicating the actions of dying and reigning, which are central to the narrative of succession in Edom.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates וַיָּ֖מָת as ἀπέθανεν (G599), which means 'he died.' This choice reflects a straightforward rendering of the Hebrew concept of death.
The verb וַיִּמְלֹ֣ךְ is rendered as ἐβασίλευσεν (G936), meaning 'he reigned.' This aligns with the theme of kingship and succession found in the Hebrew text.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text states: וַיָּ֖מָת שָׁא֑וּל וַיִּמְלֹ֣ךְ תַּחְתָּ֔יו בַּ֥עַל חָנָ֖ן בֶּן־ עַכְבּֽוֹר׃. The Samaritan Pentateuch agrees word for word with the Masoretic Text. The Septuagint matches six of the eight words, but its word order differs.
וַיָּ֖מָת שָׁא֑וּל וַיִּמְלֹ֣ךְ תַּחְתָּ֔יו בַּ֥עַל חָנָ֖ן בֶּן־ עַכְבּֽוֹר׃
6 of the 8 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.

Lord. (1.) The name appropriated to the principal male god of the Phoenicians. It is found in several places in the plural BAALIM (Judg. 2:11; 10:10; 1 Kings 18:18; Jer. 2:23; Hos. 2:17). Baal is identified with Molech (Jer. 19:5).

See ASHTORETH, plural ASH’TAROTH. The plural, Baalim, signifies images or statues of Baal, Jud 2:11 10:10. Of the extent to which the worship of this idol was domesticated among the Phoenicians and Carthaginians, we have an evidence in the proper names of persons; as, among the former, Ethbaal, Jerubbaal; and among the latter, Hannibal, Asdrubal, etc. Among the Babylonians, the same idol was worshipped under the name of BEL, which is only another form of the word Baal,

In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions.

Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
