    The Edomites rejoiced over the destruction of Jerusalem and took possession of the territory of Judea:

    Remember YHWH, The children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof - Psalm 137

    Rejoice and be glad O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz, the cup also shall pass through onto thee, thou shall be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked - Lamentations [4]

    Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey. - Ezekiel [36]

    They were driven out of the mountains of Seir by the Nabateans and moved north into the region of Judea
