Hadad, son of Bedad, was a king of Edom mentioned inGenesis 36:35-36and1 Chronicles 1:46-47. He succeeded Husham as king of Edom. Hadad defeated the Midianites in the country of Moab, which suggests that during his reign, Edom had a military conflict with Midian. The city of Avith is mentioned as the place where Hadad reigned, but its exact location is unknown.
