This Hadad entry refers to the Edomite king associated with the city of Pau and the wife Mehetabel, not the earlier Edomite king or Solomon's adversary already separately overridden. He belongs to the later stage of Edom's remembered royal succession. First appears in Gen 36:39.1
AI summary: This Hadad matters because the cross references preserve another stage in the dynastic memory of Edom. The brief royal notice, including spouse and city, helps give political texture to a neighboring kingdom whose internal succession is carefully remembered. Taken together, the material presents this Hadad as an Edomite king whose notice adds depth to the preserved royal history of Edom.1
