Mehetabel

Person Name

Name meaning: "how good is God"

Mehetabel (meaning how good is God or favored of God) was the wife of Hadar (or Hadad), one of the later kings of Edom, listed in Genesis 36:39 and 1 Chronicles 1:50. She was the daughter of Matred and granddaughter of Me-zahab. Mehetabel is one of the few women named in the Edomite king lists, which is itself unusual in ancient genealogies and may indicate her family's particular prominence.
