Genesis 36
When Isaac died he had 17 grandsons from the seven wives of his two sons. Compare that to Abraham who had two grandsons from Isaac and possibly 12 from Ishmael but likely none from any of his other five sons. Jacob and Esau separated after the death of Isaac because together they had too many animals to support in one place. Jacob lived where Isaac and Abraham had settled because he had the birthright. I was not aware that we had a list of Edomite kings prior to the reign of Saul over the children of Israel.
