Quick answer
The final Horite descendants through Ezer and Dishan close the clans of Seir.
Overview
With these last names the Chronicler completes the descendants of Seir (Genesis 36:27-28). Having surveyed both Esau's line and the earlier Horites, he turns next to the kings of Edom. The careful record sets the stage for noting that Edom had kings before Israel did.
