Bible Person
Meaning: alone; solitary · Male · 2 cross references
Bedad is remembered as the father of Hadad, one of Edom's kings. He belongs to the dynastic framework through which Edom's royal succession is preserved. First appears in Gen 36:35.1
AI summary: Bedad matters because the cross references place his name behind an Edomite king and thereby locate Edom's monarchy within a remembered family structure. Even brief royal notices like this extend the Bible's concern for dynastic memory beyond Israel alone. Taken together, the material presents Bedad as a royal father whose line contributes to the recorded succession of Edom.1
