Meaning: how good is God · Female · 2 cross references
Mehetabel is the wife connected with Hadad, one of Edom's kings, and the daughter of Matred in the genealogical record. She appears in the family detail that surrounds foreign kingship in Genesis and Chronicles. First appears in Gen 36:39.1
AI summary: Mehetabel matters because her cross references preserve a named woman within the royal memory of Edom, adding household specificity to what might otherwise be a bare succession list. Her inclusion signals that Scripture sometimes records the kinship ties around foreign power, not only the rulers themselves. Taken together, the material presents Mehetabel as a familial link within the remembered line of Edomite royalty.1
