Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Chronicles 1:50
And when Baal-hanan was dead, Hadad reigned in his stead: and the name of his city [was] Pai; and his wife’s name [was] Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.
50. Hadad ] As in 1Ch 1:46; in Gen 36:39, “Hadar.”
51a. Hadad died also ] R.V. And Hadad died. The words are repeated by a copyist’s error from 1Ch 1:47 (R.V. “And Hadad died,” as here); they are not found in Genesis.

Verse 50. Daughter of Mezahab.] This word mey zahab, is literally the golden waters; or What is gold? The Targumist paraphrases thus: “Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, was so earnest and diligent in business that she became immensely rich; but when she was converted, she said, What is this silver, and What is this gold? That is, They are of no real worth.”

(50) Baal-hanan.Some MSS. have ben Achbor, as in Gen. 36:39; so in 1Ch. 1:51. Alvah, of Genesis, is more correct than our Aliah. The Hebrew margin reads Alvah (Alwah).
Pai.Many MSS. have Pau, the reading of Gen., which is right. Hadar (Gen. 36:39), on the other hand, is probably a mistake for Hadad.
Mehetabel.El benefiteth. Perhaps Mehetabel was an Israelite, as no other queen of Edom is mentioned. But her name is Aramean.

Baal-hanan. Some codices, with one early printed edition, add “son of Achbor”. Compare Gen 36:39.
Hadad. Some codices, with four early printed editions, read “Hadar”. See note on Amram, 1Ch 1:41.
Pai. Some codices read “Pau”. See note on Zep 1:36.

Hadad: This variation is occasioned simply by the mutation of , raish, and , daleth; being in Genesis, [Strong’s H1924], Hadar, and here, [Strong’s H1908], Hadad. Gen 36:39, Hadar
Pai: i.e. sighing, [Strong’s H6464], This simply depends on the interchange of yood and wav; being written in Genesis [Strong’s H6464], Pau, and here, [Strong’s H6464], Pai. Gen 36:39, Pau
