And these are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before a king reigned over the Children of Israel.
The Ohr Hachaim explains that the Torah is listing anyone and everyone who provided a king for Edom, or had their family marry into the Edom family. All of them are destined to be destroyed when Edom is finally conquered at the end of days.
