Quick answer
Lotan's sons and his sister Timna are named among the Horite clans of Seir.
Overview
These names continue the descendants of Seir from Genesis 36:22. The mention of Timna links to Esau's family, as she became associated with Eliphaz's household. The Chronicler's detailed record preserves the intertwined histories of Edom and its earlier inhabitants.
