1 Re 11:17 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 11:17

That Hadad fled
While Joab was burying the slain:

he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him;
who either was a king, and these some of his officers and courtiers; or however was of the royal family, and had an equipage, and these some of them:

to go into Egypt;
that was their view at first setting out, where they might hope for help, at least shelter:

Hadad being yet a little child;
whom his father's servants hid, while Joab was making the slaughter he did, and took the opportunity of fleeing with him while he was burying the dead.

1 Re 11:17 In-Context

15 Quando Davide sconfisse Edom, e Joab, capo dell’esercito, salì per seppellire i morti, e uccise tutti i maschi che erano in Edom;
16 (poiché Joab rimase in Edom sei mesi, con tutto Israele, finché v’ebbe sterminati tutti i maschi),
17 questo Hadad fuggì con alcuni Idumei, servi di suo padre, per andare in Egitto. Hadad era allora un giovinetto.
18 Quelli dunque partirono da Madian, andarono a Paran, presero seco degli uomini di Paran, e giunsero in Egitto da Faraone, re d’Egitto, il quale diede a Hadad una casa, provvide al suo mantenimento, e gli assegnò dei terreni.
19 Hadad entrò talmente nelle grazie di Faraone, che questi gli diede per moglie la sorella della propria moglie, la sorella della regina Tahpenes.
