Who this is

Matred was the daughter of Mezahab and mother of Mehetabel, who married Hadar (also called Hadad), the last king of Edom named in the Genesis king-list before Israel's own kings arose (Genesis 36:39; 1 Chronicles 1:50). She is one of the few women named in these otherwise male genealogical lists. Nothing further is recorded of her.
