How did they hear about the evil that came to him?
Devar Eliyahu, from Bava Basra 16b: They had a Siman [to know if one of them was suffering].
What do we learn from "Ish mi'Mekomo"?
Koheles Rabah 7:4: A place was prepared for them in Gehinom. Via coming to console Iyov, they were saved from it.
Who was "Elifaz ha'Teimani"?
Tanchuma Vayera 30, Yalkut Shimoni Iyov 917, Targum 'Yonason' (Bereishis 36:12), Devar Eliyahu 1:1: He was Elifaz ben Esav. Rashi (4:1) - he merited Shechinah because he grew up in the lap of Yitzchak. (Hagahah - he was from Eretz Teiman, the land of Esav.)
Ibn Ezra: He was from the family of Teiman ben Elifaz ben Esav 1 .
Ibn Ezra: This is difficult. Moshe wrote Sefer Iyov (Bava Basra 14b), and [Bnei Esav] were attributed to Teiman only generations later! I say that the Sefer was translated, therefore there are difficulties, like with every translated Sefer. (NOTE: I.e. the translator called him ha'Teimani; when Moshe wrote this, he was not called so. - PF)
What is the meaning of "ha'Na'amasi?
Ibn Ezra: I am unsure if this refers to his land, or his family.
Who was Bildad ha'Shuchi?
Ibn Ezra: He was from Bnei Shu'ach, a son of Avraham from Keturah.
Devar Eliyahu (8:1): He was Ben Shu'ach ben Avraham. Tzufar ha'Na'amasi 1 and Barach'el ha'Buzi were from Bnei Nachor - "Yaldah Banim l'Nachor Achicha Es Utz Bechoro v'Es Buz Achiv."
Elihu heard the debate between Iyov and his three friends (32:2-3). Did not come with them?
Devar Eliyahu. Yes, because he was already in Iyov's locale.
Why does it say "va'Yiva'adu Yachdav"?
Bava Basra 16b: They all arrived at the same moment.
Devar Eliyahu: Initially they gathered to a particular place, and from there they counseled to come to him.
Malbim: Each came from his land by himself. When they reached Eretz Utz and encountered each other, they came to him together.
What is the meaning of "Lanud"?
Rashi: It is to lament.
Devar Eliyahu: It is to join in his pain. After one sees that others share in his pain, he is consoled a little.
