Yes, and the Edomites were conquered by the Israelites in 150 BC by Judas Maccabees.

They were merged with the Israelites and became the Idumeans after being converted to Judaism

Herod the Great was one such Idumean

The Idumeans died out defending Jerusalem against the armies of Titus and Vespasian in 69 AD

every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter. happened in 69 AD

upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. --> yes, they died to save Jerusalem and they had already merged to a large extent with the JEws

Read 1 Maccabees to understand this that this has already happened by 69 AD.

the lands of the Idumeans were then possesed by the Nabateans who made their captial in the former Edomite capital Petra
