14And the LORD raised up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the E'domite; he was of the royal house in Edom. 15For when David was in Edom, and Jo'ab the commander of the army went up to bury the slain, he slew every male in Edom 16(for Jo'ab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom); 17but Hadad fled to Egypt, together with certain E'domites of his father's servants, Hadad being yet a little child. 18They set out from Mid'ian and came to Paran, and took men with them from Paran and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, and assigned him an allowance of food, and gave him land. 19And Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tah'penes the queen. 20And the sister of Tah'penes bore him Genu'bath his son, whom Tah'penes weaned in Pharaoh's house; and Genu'bath was in Pharaoh's house among the sons of Pharaoh. 21But when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers and that Jo'ab the commander of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, "Let me depart, that I may go to my own country." 22But Pharaoh said to him, "What have you lacked with me that you are now seeking to go to your own country?" And he said to him, "Only let me go."
