From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Now when Job’s three friends heard -It would seem from this that these men were his particular friends. They came every one from his own place -His residence. This was the result of agreement or appointment thus to meet together. Eliphaz the Temanite -This was the most prominent of his friends. In the ensuing discussion he regularly takes the lead, advances the most important and impressive considerations, and is followed and sustained by the others. The Septuagint renders thisΕλιφὰζ ὁ Θαιμαινῶν βασιλεὺςElifazhoThaimainōnbasileus- Eliphaz, the king of the Themanites. The Hebrew does not intimate that he held any office or rank.
