Tafsiran Kejadian 36:39: Rashi, Radak & Rabbeinu Bahya

וַיָּמָת֮ בַּ֣עַל חָנָ֣ן בֶּן־עַכְבּוֹר֒ וַיִּמְלֹ֤ךְ תַּחְתָּיו֙ הֲדַ֔ר וְשֵׁ֥ם עִיר֖וֹ פָּ֑עוּ וְשֵׁ֨ם אִשְׁתּ֤וֹ מְהֵֽיטַבְאֵל֙ בַּת־מַטְרֵ֔ד בַּ֖ת מֵ֥י זָהָֽב׃

Lalu Baal-Hanan anak Akhbor meninggal, dan Hadar menjadi raja menggantikannya. Nama kotanya ialah Pau, dan nama istrinya ialah Mehetabeel, anak perempuan Matred, anak perempuan Me-Zahab.

Rashi

בת מי זהב THE DAUGHTER OF ME-ZAHAB — meaning מהו זהב what value has gold? He was so rich that gold had no value in his eyes (Genesis Rabbah 83:4).

Radak

וימלוך תחתיו הדר...ושם אשתו וגו', we do not know why both his wife’s name and that of her father have been mentioned.

Rabbeinu Bahya

ושם אשתו מהיטבאל בת מטרד בת מי זהב, “the name of his wife was Mehetabel, daughter of Matred, daughter of Me-zahav.” The Torah provides these details to teach that the wife of Hadad was the daughter of a wealthy man whose entire pursuit in life was the amassing of material wealth. The gold was as plentiful in his house as water.
