Chaoul mort, à sa place régna Baal Hanân, fils d’Akbor.
Ramban
WHO SMOTE MIDIAN IN THE FIELD OF MOAB. The intent thereof is to tell of Hadad’s prowess, for the Midianites had come into the field of Moab to overpower them, but he was victorious over them all.
Baal-hanan the son of Achbor310Verse 38 here. was of the same place as Shaul of Rehoboth by the River,311Verse 37 here. in whose stead he reigned, and therefore Scripture does not ascribe another city to him. It is possible that “Hanan” is the name of a place, and he was the master thereof, which accounts for his name Baal-hanan, and afterwards he became king.
