1 Kings 11:14-22

¹⁴ Then the Lord raised up an adversary to Solomon , Hadad the Edomite ; he was of the royal line in Edom . ¹⁵ For it came about, when David was in Edom , and Joab the commander of the army had gone up to bury the slain , and had struck down every male in Edom ¹⁶ (for Joab and all Israel stayed there six months , until he had cut off every male in Edom ), ¹⁷ that Hadad fled to Egypt , he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, while Hadad was a young boy . ¹⁸ 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 and assigned him food and gave him land . ¹⁹ Now Hadad found great favor before Pharaoh , so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife , the sister of Tahpenes the queen . ²⁰ The sister of Tahpenes bore his son Genubath , whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house ; and Genubath was in Pharaoh's house among the sons of Pharaoh . ²¹ But when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers and that Joab the commander of the army was dead , Hadad said to Pharaoh , "Send me away , that I may go to my own country ." ²² Then Pharaoh said to him, "But what have you lacked with me, that behold , you are seeking to go to your own country ?" And he answered , "Nothing ; nevertheless you must surely let me go ."
