The Edomites were descendants of Esau (Gen. 36:1, 8), therefore referred to as “brother” to Israel, Amos 1:11.
Also known as the land (or mountain) of Seir ( which means hairy, rough). Land originally occupied by the Horites before Edom drove them out.
The Edomites were conquered by David and Amaziah, but later regained their independence and allied themselves with Nebuchadnezzar against Jerusalem. Edomite tribes settled also in the south of Judah, like the Kenizzites (Gen. 36:11), to whom Caleb and Othniel belonged (Josh. 15:17).
Bozrah, was the capital of Edom.
The southern part of Edom was known as Teman. One of Job’s friends was a Temanite (Eliaphaz)
Idumaea, the Greek name for Edom as found in the Septuagint. After the Babylonians overtook the land, the Edomites settled in the region of Hebron. They prospered in this new country, and were called by the Greeks and Romans "Idumaea", for more than four centuries. Herod the Great was an Idumaean, and people from Idumaea came to hear Jesus speak (Mark 3:8
An important highway, namely the King’s Highway (Num. 20:17), passed through the eastern segment It allowed trade from Egypt to the Aquaba coast line, up through Edom, Moab, and Ammon, and then all the way to the Euphrates.
We recall that when Christ returns he will return to the promise land through Edom
Isa 63:1: “Who is this that cometh from Edom,
With dyed garments from Bozrah?
This that is glorious in his apparel,
Travelling in the greatness of his strength?
I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
