1 Kings 11:8-18

8 And likewise did he for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
9 And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, who had appeared unto him twice
10 and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.
11 Therefore the LORD said unto Solomon, "Forasmuch as this is done by thee, and thou hast not kept My covenant and My statutes which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee and will give it to thy servant.
12 Notwithstanding, I will not do it in thy days for David thy father's sake; but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.
13 However I will not rend away all the kingdom, but will give one tribe to thy son for David My servant's sake and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen."
14 And the LORD stirred up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was of the king's seed in Edom.
15 For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host had gone up to bury the slain after he had smitten every male in Edom
16 (for six months Joab remained there with all Israel until he had cut off every male in Edom),
17 that Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt, Hadad being yet a little child.
18 And they arose out of Midian and came to Paran; and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house and appointed him victuals and gave him land.
