An Edomite and son of Seir, and a chief of the Horites.
About Dishan
Chieftain in the land of Seir, a mountainous area southwest of the Dead Sea. Dishan’s father was Seir the Horite (Gn 36:21; 1 Chr 1:38). The Horites were driven out of their territory by the Edomites (Dt 2:12). Later OT references often use Seir and Edom synonymously.
