Esau married Canaanite women: Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite; Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah son of Zibeon the Hivite;
3
and Basemath, the daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.
4
Adah bore Eliphaz; Basemath bore Reuel;
5
and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. All these sons were born to Esau in the land of Canaan.
6
Then Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the people of his house, along with all his livestock and all the possessions he had gotten in the land of Canaan, and went away from his brother Jacob to another land.

Korah, Gatam, and Amalek. These were all descendants of Esau's wife Adah.
