*
And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon ,
Hadad the Edomite :
he was of the king '
s seed in Edom .
*
For it came to pass ,
when David was in Edom ,
and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain ,
after he had smitten every male in Edom ;
* (
For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel ,
until he had cut off every male in Edom :)
*
That Hadad fled ,
he and certain Edomites of his father '
s servants with him ,
to go into Egypt ;
Hadad being yet a little child .
*
And they arose out of Midian ,
and came to Paran :
and they took men with them out of Paran ,
and they came to Egypt ,
unto Pharaoh king of Egypt ;
which gave him an house ,
and appointed him victuals ,
and gave him land .
*
And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh ,
so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife ,
the sister of Tahpenes the queen .
*
And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son ,
whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh '
s house :
and Genubath was in Pharaoh '
s household among the sons of Pharaoh .
*
And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers ,
and that Joab the captain of the host was dead ,
Hadad said to Pharaoh ,
Let me depart ,
that I may go to mine own country .
*
Then Pharaoh said unto him ,
But what hast thou lacked with me ,
that ,
behold ,
thou seekest to go to thine own country ?
And he answered ,
Nothing :
howbeit let me go in any wise .
*
And God stirred him up another adversary ,
Rezon the son of Eliadah ,
which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah :
*
And he gathered men unto him ,
and became captain over a band ,
when David slew them of Zobah :
and they went to Damascus ,
and dwelt therein ,
and reigned in Damascus .
*
And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon ,
beside the mischief that Hadad did :
and he abhorred Israel ,
and reigned over Syria .
