Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

Jobab the son of Zerah - Many have supposed that Jobab is the same as Job, so remarkable for his afflictions and patience; and that Eliphaz, mentioned Gen 36:10, etc., was the same who in the book of Job is called one of his friends: but there is no proper proof of this, and there are many reasons against it.

Genesis 36:33

The Kings of Edom

³²Bela son of Beor reigned in Edom; the name of his city was Dinhabah.³³When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah reigned in his place.
