Quick answer
Anah's and Dishon's descendants are listed among the Horites of Seir.
Overview
These names continue the Horite genealogy from Genesis 36:25-26. The Chronicler completes the clans descended from Seir before turning to Edom's kings. The detailed record again shows that no nation lies outside the scope of God's sovereign history.
