The Key Word — בַּעַל חָנָן, Ba.'algenerated
The name בַּעַל חָנָן (Baal-Chanan) means 'Baal is gracious' and refers to an Edomite king. The name combines בַּעַל (Baal), a deity, with חָנָן (Hanan), meaning gracious. This indicates a cultural connection to the worship of Baal and the idea of divine favor.
Baal-hanan is noted for his role in the lineage of Edomite kings, emphasizing the significance of his name in the context of leadership and divine blessing. His death marks a transition in power, leading to Hadad's reign.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
Translations of this verse generally agree, using variations of 'Baal-hanan died' and 'Hadad reigned in his place.' The BSB, KJV, ASV, YLT, WEB, and BBE all convey similar meanings.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verbs וַיָּמָת (and he died) and וַיִּמְלֹךְ (and he reigned) govern the structure of the verse. The sentence outlines the succession of kings and includes details about their cities and families.
The order of the phrases indicates a sequence of events: first the death of Baal-hanan, followed by the reign of Hadad, with additional information about his city and wife.

Lord. (1.) The name appropriated to the principal male god of the Phoenicians. It is found in several places in the plural BAALIM (Judg. 2:11; 10:10; 1 Kings 18:18; Jer. 2:23; Hos. 2:17). Baal is identified with Molech (Jer. 19:5).

See ASHTORETH, plural ASH’TAROTH. The plural, Baalim, signifies images or statues of Baal, Jud 2:11 10:10. Of the extent to which the worship of this idol was domesticated among the Phoenicians and Carthaginians, we have an evidence in the proper names of persons; as, among the former, Ethbaal, Jerubbaal; and among the latter, Hannibal, Asdrubal, etc. Among the Babylonians, the same idol was worshipped under the name of BEL, which is only another form of the word Baal,

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
