Hadar

Hadar in the Topics

Adod, brave(?). (1.) A son of Ishmael (Gen 25:15); in 1 Chr 1:30 written Hadad.

(2.) One of the Edomitish kings (Gen 36:39) about the time of Saul. Called also Hadad (1 Chr 1:50, 1 Chr 1:51).

It is probable that in these cases Hadar may be an error simply of transcription for Hadad.
