1 Rois 11:18 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 11:18

And they arose out of Midian
A country which lay in their way to Egypt, and where it seems they made some stay, and then departed:

and came to Paran;
near to which was a wilderness of the same name, in which the Israelites wandered when they came out of Egypt, and which lay between Edom and Egypt:

and they took men with them out of Paran;
either as guides and guards through the wilderness, or to make the better appearance before Pharaoh, and that they might meet with the better reception:

and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt;
and told their case, and informed him who Hadad was: who, pitying an unfortunate young prince,

gave him an house;
for him and his servants to dwell in:

and appointed him victuals;
a daily provision for him and his men:

and gave him land;
for his servants to cultivate, and from thence to raise a revenue for his support; the Jewish writers say he gave him cities to rule over; but as he was but a little child when he came, it cannot be thought that was done, at least directly.

1 Rois 11:18 In-Context

16 il y resta six mois avec tout Israël, jusqu'à ce qu'il en eût exterminé tous les mâles.

17 Ce fut alors qu'Hadad prit la fuite avec des Edomites, serviteurs de son père, pour se rendre en Egypte. Hadad était encore un jeune garçon.

18 Partis de Madian, ils allèrent à Paran, prirent avec eux des hommes de Paran, et arrivèrent en Egypte auprès de Pharaon, roi d'Egypte, Pharaon donna une maison à Hadad, pourvut à sa subsistance, et lui accorda des terres.

19 Hadad trouva grâce aux yeux de Pharaon, à tel point que Pharaon lui donna pour femme la soeur de sa femme, la soeur de la reine Thachpenès.

20 La soeur de Thachpenès lui enfanta son fils Guenubath. Thachpenès le sevra dans la maison de Pharaon; et Guenubath fut dans la maison de Pharaon, au milieu des enfants de Pharaon.
