STRONGS G2401:
Ἰδουμαία,
-ας,
ἡ,
Idumæa, the name of a region between southern Palestine and Arabia Petræa, inhabited by Esau or Edom (
Genesis 36:30) and his posterity (the Edomites), (
Joshua 15:1,
21;
Joshua 11:17;
Joshua 12:7). The Edomites were first subjugated by David; but after his death they disputed Solomon's authority and in the reign of Joram recovered their liberty, which they maintained, transmitting from generation to generation their hatred of Israel, until they were conquered again by Hyrcanus and subjected to the government of the Jews:
Mark 3:8. [For details of boundary and history, see
Bertheau in Schenkel and
Porter in
B. D. under the word Edom; also the latter in Kitto's Cycl. under the word Idumæa.]
