sam´la (שׂמלה, samlāh; Σαλαμά, Salamá):

One of the kings of Edom, of the city of Masrekah. He reigned before the Israelites had kings (Genesis 36:36, Genesis 36:37; 1 Chronicles 1:47, 1 Chronicles 1:48). The fact that the city is mentioned in connection with the name of the king suggests that Edom was a confederacy at this time and the chief city was the metropolis of the whole country.
