13 ^aHowever I will not tear away the whole kingdom; I will give ^bone tribe to your son ^cfor the sake of My servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem ^dwhich I have chosen.”

Adversaries of Solomon

14 Now the Lord ^araised up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was a descendant of the king in Edom.

15 ^aFor it happened, when David was in Edom, and Joab the commander of the army had gone up to bury the slain, ^bafter he had killed every male in Edom

16 (because for six months Joab remained there with all Israel, until he had cut down every male in Edom),

17 that Hadad fled to go to Egypt, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him. Hadad was still a little child.

18 Then they arose from Midian and came to Paran; and they took men with them from Paran and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, apportioned food for him, and gave him land.

Was gone up to bury the slain - The slain Edomites; for Joab had in the course of six months exterminated all the males, except Hadad and his servants, who escaped to Egypt. Instead of bury the slain, the Targum has to take the spoils of the slain.
