14 So the Lord raised up Hadad the Edomite as an enemy against Solomon. He was of the royal family in Edom.
15 Earlier, when David was in Edom, Joab, the commander of the army, had gone to bury the dead and had struck down every male in Edom.
16 For Joab and all Israel had remained there six months, until he had killed every male in Edom.
17 Hadad fled to Egypt, along with some Edomites from his father’s servants. At the time Hadad was a small boy.
18 Hadad and his men set out from Midian and went to Paran. They took men with them from Paran and went to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave Hadad a house, ordered that he be given food, and gave him land.
19 Pharaoh liked Hadad so much that he gave him a wife, the sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes.
20 Tahpenes’ sister gave birth to Hadad’s son Genubath. Tahpenes herself weaned him in Pharaoh’s palace, and Genubath lived there along with Pharaoh’s sons.
