1 Kings 11:15

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.

19 And Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, that is, the sister of Queen Tahpenes.
