STEPBible TIPNR
Beor was the father of Bela, who was one of the early kings of Edom before any Israelite king reigned (Gen. 36:32; 1Ch. 1:43). Edom was a nation located south of the Dead Sea, descended from Esau, brother of Israel (or 'Jacob'). The mention of Beor in the genealogy of Edomite kings suggests that he was a significant figure in Edomite history, although no further details about his life are provided in the Bible.
