The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Isti sunt reges qui imperaverunt in terra Edom, antequam esset rex super filios Israël. Bale filius Beor : et nomen civitatis ejus, Denaba.
Septuagint (Swete): Καὶ οὗτοι οἱ βασιλεῖς αὐτῶν· Βάλακ υἱὸς Βεώρ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ πόλει αὐτοῦ Δεννάβα.
Hebrew (WLC): וְאֵ֣לֶּה הַמְּלָכִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֤ר מָלְכוּ֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ אֱד֔וֹם לִפְנֵ֥י מְלָךְ מֶ֖לֶךְ לִבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל בֶּ֚לַע בֶּן בְּע֔וֹר וְשֵׁ֥ם עִיר֖וֹ דִּנְהָֽבָה

Haydock's commentary

Israel. The same remark had been made in Genesis xxxvi. 31. It is wonderful that the author of this work gives us no further information, when so many revolutions had since occurred. (Calmet)

But he might content himself with repeating the words of Moses. (Haydock)

The eight kings here specified must have reigned each 50 years, which is not impossible. David conquered the country under Adad.
