View source for Husham (Edomite king)

'''Husham''' was a king of [[Edom]] mentioned in the [[Bible]], in [[Book of Genesis|Genesis 36:31-43]]. He succeeded [[Jobab ben Zerah]] in the apparently elective kingship of the Edomites. He is mentioned as being from "the land of Temani", which may refer to the Edomite clan [[Teman (Edom)|Teman]]. Husham was succeeded upon his death by [[Hadad ben Bedad]].
The date and even historicity of his reign are unknown, as he is not mentioned in any other surviving source.
