Quick answer
After the kings, the Chronicler lists Edom's tribal chiefs, beginning with Timna, Aliah, and Jetheth.
Overview
Following the monarchy, Edom is described by its clan-chiefs (Genesis 36:40-41). This shift suggests a change in Edom's political organization over time. The Chronicler's complete record of Edom honors the reality that God ordered even this neighboring nation, though His covenant ran through Israel.
