11
Therefore the Lord said to Solomon, "Since this has been your mind and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes that I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you and give it to your servant.
12
Yet for the sake of your father David I will not do it in your lifetime; I will tear it out of the hand of your son.
13
I will not, however, tear away the entire kingdom; I will give one tribe to your son, for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen."
14
Then the Lord raised up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was of the royal house in Edom.
15
For when David was in Edom, and Joab the commander of the army went up to bury the dead, he killed every male in Edom
16
(for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had eliminated every male in Edom);
17
but Hadad fled to Egypt with some Edomites who were servants of his father. He was a young boy at that time.
18
They set out from Midian and came to Paran; they took people with them from Paran and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, assigned him an allowance of food, and gave him land.
19
Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him his sister-in-law for a wife, the sister of Queen Tahpenes.
20
The sister of Tahpenes gave birth by him to his son Genubath, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house; Genubath was in Pharaoh's house among the children of Pharaoh.
21
When Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his ancestors and that Joab the commander of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, "Let me depart, that I may go to my own country."
