Quick answer
Jobab dies and Husham of the Temanites reigns next in Edom.
Overview
The list of Edom's kings continues (Genesis 36:34), each succeeding from a different place rather than by inherited line. The Chronicler records this transient kingship faithfully. The contrast with David's permanent throne quietly magnifies the uniqueness of God's covenant with David.
