When it comes to Kabbalah, you can read about the "Edomite Kings" who were said to reign in the land before there Reigned a King in Israel
> Simply, this means that these kings reigned long before there was a king in Israel. Many commentaries, however, state that the first king of Israel alluded to in this verse is Moses (cf. Deuteronomy 33:5; Rashbam; Ibn Ezra; Ralbag). We do, however, find that there were Edomite kings contemporary to Moses (Numbers 20:14). Therefore, it must be said that Moses was not considered a king until the concept of a king was given to the Israelites (Deuteronomy 17:15). It also appears that the chiefs (alufim) ruled over Edom right after the Exodus (cf. Exodus 15:15 )

>Gen. xxxvi. 31: "And these are the kings which have reigned in ADVM (EDOM)

In the Kabbalah this is explained how: thence we learn that unless the head (or ruling power, or government) of a nation, whatever form of government it may happen to be, be first properly constituted, that nation cannot be properly ruled. For if the head be first disposed aright, then all things can be ordained, but if that be not first disposed aright, neither can the nation be governed aright.

In the Kabbalah Unveiled there is a chapter "CONCERNING THE EDOMITE KINGS.":
> This brings in the subject of the worlds of unbalanced force which are said by the Zohar to have been created and destroyed prior to the creation of the present world. These worlds of unbalanced force are typified by the Edomite kings

It suggests that some sort of Law or Dynasty was passed down from Egypt or (perhaps other Region) so as to establish rightful Dynasty to the Israelites for the Edomite kings and the nature of Edomite religion is uncertain. Yahweh-worship, apparently associated with Mount Seir and the Shashu tribes, does not appear to have predominated among the Edomites in their early history. As close relatives of other Levantine Semites, they may have worshiped such gods as El, Baal, Asherah.

Some sort of reformation happened, perhaps, and like Muhammad cast out the Idols from Mecca, some sort of religious law and dynasty was probably established in a same fashion how Allah was made the supreme deity and other false idols were cast out from the Kaaba
