ISBE
zib'-e-on (tsibh`on, "hyena"; HPN, 95; Sebegon): A Horite chief ( Ge 36:2 , 14 , 20 , 24 , 29 ; 1Ch 1:38 , 40 ); he is called the "Hivite" in Ge 36:2 where "Horite" should be read with 36:20,29. In Ge 36:2 , 14 Anah is said to be "the daughter of Zibeon," whereas the Septuagint, the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Syriac, and Lucian have "the son of Zibeon"; compare 1Ch 1:38 , 40 , where also Anah is Zibeon's son.
Smith's Bible Dictionary (1863)
(robber), father of Anah, whose daughter Aholibamah was Esau’s wife. (Genesis 36:2) (B.C. 1797.) Although called a Hivite, he is probably the same as Zibeon the son of Seir the Horite. (Genesis 36:20,24,29; 1 Chronicles 1:38,40)
