Melachim Alef 11:16 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 11:16

For six months did Joab remain with all Israel
With the whole army:

until he had cut off every male in Edom;
as he supposed; for it was not fact, since after this they increased again, and became a powerful people, and had a king over them, and revolted from Judah, ( 2 Kings 8:20-22 ) .

Melachim Alef 11:16 In-Context

14 And Hashem raised up satan (adversary) unto Sh’lomo, Hadad HaAdomi; he was from the zera HaMelech in Edom.

15 For it came to pass, when Dovid was in Edom, and Yoav Sar HaTzava was gone up to bury the slain, after he had struck down every zakhar in Edom;

16 (For six months did Yoav remain there with kol Yisroel, until he had cut off every zakhar in Edom);

17 That Hadad fled, he and anashim Adomiyyim (certain men of Edom) of his father’s avadim with him, to go into Mitzrayim; Hadad being yet a na’ar katan (small child).

18 And they arose out of Midyan, and came to Paran; and they took anashim with them out of Paran, and they came to Mitzrayim, unto Pharaoh Melech Mitzrayim; who gave him a bais, and assigned him lechem, and gave him eretz.
