Targum for I Chronicles 1:43

וְאֵ֣לֶּה הַמְּלָכִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֤ר מָלְכוּ֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ אֱד֔וֹם לִפְנֵ֥י מְלָךְ־מֶ֖לֶךְ לִבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל בֶּ֚לַע בֶּן־בְּע֔וֹר וְשֵׁ֥ם עִיר֖וֹ דִּנְהָֽבָה׃

Now these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before their reigned any king over the children of Israel: Bela the son of Beor; and the name of his city was Dinhabah.

Targum of I Chronicles

...And these are the kings that ruled over the land of Edom before there was a king that ruled over the Israelites: Balaam son of Beor the wicked, who is Laban the Aramaen, who made a pack with the sons of Esau in order to ruin Jacob and his sons, and sought to destroy them, and ruled over Edom, and the name of the city where he reigned from was Dinhava because it was granted [ityhivat] to him freely.
