Timna

Timna was the daughter of Seir the Horite and the concubine of Eliphaz, Esau's son, by whom she became the mother of Amalek (Genesis 36:12; 1 Chronicles 1:36). She is also listed as a Horite chieftainess in the catalogue of Seir's descendants (Genesis 36:22; 1 Chronicles 1:39). The Amalekites, descended from Timna through Amalek, became one of Israel's most persistent enemies throughout the period of the judges and the early monarchy.
