parshanut torah comment - When was this verse written?


When was this written: "And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel." (Genesis 36:31)?


Are there any traditional commentators that say that this verse was written once a king reigned in Israel (hundreds of years after Moshe died)? I know the Ibn Ezra mentions numerous verses that were later additions, but is this one of them?
