“And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Avith.”
When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad, who defeated Midian in the country of Moab, succeeded him as king. His city was named Avith. The military achievement — Hadad defeated Midian — is the first historical act recorded in the Edomite king list. The application: the Edomite kings are historical figures with military achievements, not merely names in a list.
