1 Reyes 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 Reyes 11:18 In-Context

16 Joab y los israelitas que estaban con él se quedaron allí seis meses, hasta que exterminaron a todos los varones edomitas.

17 Pero Hadad, que entonces era apenas un muchacho, huyó a Egipto con algunos oficiales edomitas que habían estado al servicio de su padre.

18 Partieron de Madián y llegaron a Parán, donde se les unieron unos hombres de ese lugar. De allí siguieron hacia Egipto y se presentaron ante el faraón, rey del país, quien le regaló a Hadad una casa y se encargó de darle sustento y tierras.

19 Hadad agradó tanto al faraón, que este le dio por esposa a su cuñada, una hermana de la reina Tapenés.

20 La hermana de Tapenés dio a luz un hijo, al que llamó Guenubat, y Tapenés lo educó en el palacio real. De modo que Guenubat creció junto con los hijos del faraón.
