And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his stead.

And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
-
And when Bela was dead, Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead.
-
And when Jobab was dead, Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his stead.
