1 Reis 11:18

18 Levantando-se, pois, de Midiã, foram a Parã; e tomando consigo homens de Parã, foram ao Egito ter com Faraó, rei do Egito, o qual deu casa a Hadade, proveu-lhe a subsistência, e lhe deu terras.

1 Reis 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 Reis 11:18 In-Context

16 (porque Joabe ficou ali seis meses com todo o Israel, até que destruiu a todo varão em Edom),

17 Hadade, que era ainda menino, fugiu para o Egito com alguns edemeus, servos de seu pai.

18 Levantando-se, pois, de Midiã, foram a Parã; e tomando consigo homens de Parã, foram ao Egito ter com Faraó, rei do Egito, o qual deu casa a Hadade, proveu-lhe a subsistência, e lhe deu terras.

19 E Hadade caiu tanto em graça a Faraó, que este lhe deu por mulher a irmã de sua mulher, a irmã da rainha Tafnes.

20 Ora, desta irmã de Tafnes nasceu a Hadade seu filho Genubate, a qual Tafnes criou na casa de Faraó, onde Genubate esteve entre os filhos de rei.
