[See comments on 1 Chronicles 1:35].
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 1:36
The sons of Eliphaz; Teman, and Omar, Zephi, and Gatam, Kenaz, and Timna, and Amalek. Sons of Eliphas - the tribe Adites, in the center country of the Saracens, so called from his mother, Adah (Genesis 36:10).
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 1:36
Timna: there is another Timna, the concubine of Eliphaz, , but this was one of his sons, though called by the same name; there being some names common both to men and women in the Hebrew and in other languages.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 1:36
1 Chronicles 1:36 The sons of Eliphaz; Teman, and Omar, Zephi, and Gatam, Kenaz, and Timna, and Amalek.Ver. 36. And Timna.] This was the son of Eliphaz, but of the same name with his concubine Timna, who haply might thereby seek the propagating of her name, like as our Queen Mary did, when, being godmother to many of her servants’ sons, she gave her own name, Anthony-Maria, Edward-Maria, &c., as an addition to their names received at baptism. Fuller’ s Church Hist.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 1:36
(35-42) The tribes of Esau and Seir, extracted from Genesis 36
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 1:36
36. Teman] Amos 1:11-12; Habakkuk 3:3. The word means South, and is applied in the first passage to Edom itself, in the second to the wilderness of Edom, both being south of Canaan. Zephi] In Genesis 36:11, “Zepho.” Kenaz] perhaps the same person as the father of Othniel (1 Chronicles 4:13). Amalek] Perhaps the eponymous ancestor of the Amalekites; cp. 1 Chronicles 1:12 of Genesis 36 with 1 Chronicles 1:16.
