Senses in use

  1. Edomite identification or group affiliation · dominant

    The gentilic identifies persons or groups by Edomite affiliation. In 1 Kings 11:14 the masculine singular form identifies Hadad in the clause that names him as an adversary raised against Solomon; in 1 Samuel 22:18 it identifies Doeg as the man who turns against the priests. Plural forms identify Edomite men fleeing with Hadad in 1 Kings 11:17, women among Solomon's foreign women in 1 Kings 11:1, and groups involved in military or settlement actions in 2 Chronicles 28:17 and 2 Kings 16:6.

In the Anselm Paraphrase: Where the affiliation is clear in the paraphrase, the APB uses forms such as “Edomite,” “Edomite men,” and “the Edomites,” as in 1 Kings 11:14, 1 Kings 11:17, and 2 Chronicles 28:17. In several supplied verses the paraphrase does not visibly preserve the term's contribution, so its wording should not be treated as word-aligned.
