1 Kings 11:16

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.

1 Kings 11:16

Every male in Edom - i. e., every male whom he could find. As did Hadad and his company I Kings 11:17, so others would escape in various directions. The Edomite nation was not destroyed on the occasion.
