Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Chronicles 1:46
And when Husham was dead, Hadad the son of Bedad, which smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city [was] Avith.
46. Midian in the field of Moab ] Perhaps the words point to a time when Midian and Moab were in alliance; cp. Num 22:4; Num 22:7.

(46) Hadad.The name of a Syrian deity, a form of the sun-god. (Comp. the royal titles, Ben-hadad and Hadadezer, 1Ch. 18:3, and the Note on 2Ki. 5:18.) Hadad is the same as Dadi, a Syrian title of Rimmon. Perhaps the classical Attis is equivalent to Dadis. The cry of the vintagers (hdd) seems to show that Hadad, like Bacchus, was regarded as the giver of the grapes (Isa. 16:9-10).
Which smote Midian.A glimpse of the restless feuds which prevailed from time immemorial between these tribes and peoples of kindred origin. Like the judges of Israel, the kings of Edom seem to have been raised to their position owing to special emergencies.
The field of Moab.That is, the open country.
Avith.Like Dinhabah, and Pai, and Masretah, unknown beyond this passage. In the Hebrew of Chron. it is spelt, Ayuth; in Genesis 36 Awith. The letters w and y have been transposed in our text.

Avith. Hebrew text reads “Ayuth”. But some codices, with two early printed editions, read “Avith”, which Authorized Version follows.
