1 Kings 11:14-26

14Then the LORDH3068 raised upH6965 against SolomonH8010 an adversaryH7854, HadadH1908 the EdomiteH130, from the royalH4428 lineH2233 of EdomH123.

15EarlierH1961, when DavidH1732 wasH1961 in EdomH123, JoabH3097 the commanderH8269 of the armyH6635 had goneH5927 to buryH6912 the deadH2491 and had struck downH5221 everyH3605 maleH2145 in EdomH123. 16JoabH3097 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 had stayedH3427 thereH8033 sixH8337 monthsH2320, untilH5704 he had killedH3772 everyH3605 maleH2145 in EdomH123. 17But HadadH111H1931, still justH582 a youngH6996 boyH5288, had fledH1272 to EgyptH4714H1908, along withH854H935 some EdomitesH130 who were servantsH5650 of his fatherH1.

18Hadad and his men set outH6965 from MidianH4080 and wentH935 to ParanH6290. They tookH3947 menH582 from ParanH6290 with themH5973 and wentH935 to EgyptH4714, toH413 PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, who gaveH5414 Hadad a houseH1004 and landH776 and providedH559 him with foodH3899.

19There HadadH1908 foundH4672 such greatH3966 favorH2580 in the sightH5869 of PharaohH6547 that he gaveH5414 to him in marriageH802 the sisterH269 of QueenH1377 TahpenesH8472, his own wifeH802. 20And the sisterH269 of TahpenesH8472 boreH3205 Hadad a sonH1121 named GenubathH1592. Tahpenes herselfH8472 weaned himH1580 inH8432 Pharaoh’sH6547 palaceH1004, and GenubathH1592 livedH1961 thereH1004H6547 amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of PharaohH6547.

21When HadadH1908 heardH8085 in EgyptH4714 thatH3588 DavidH1732 had restedH7901 withH5973 his fathersH1 and thatH3588 JoabH3097, the commanderH8269 of the armyH6635, was deadH4191, heH1908 saidH559 toH413 PharaohH6547, “Let me goH7971, that I may returnH1980 toH413 my own countryH776.”

22But PharaohH6547 askedH559 him, “WhatH4100 have youH859 lackedH2638 here with meH5973 that you suddenlyH2005 wantH1245 to go backH1980 toH413 your own countryH776?”

“NothingH3808,” Hadad repliedH559, “butH3588 please let me goH7971.”

23And GodH430 raised upH6965 against Solomon another adversaryH7854, RezonH7331 the sonH1121 of EliadaH450, whoH834 had fledH1272 fromH854 his masterH113, HadadezerH1909 kingH4428 of ZobahH6678, 24and had gatheredH6908 menH582 to himselfH5921. When DavidH1732 killedH2026 the ZobaitesH853, Rezon captainedH1961H8269 a bandH1416 of raiders and wentH1980 to DamascusH1834, where they settledH3427 and gained controlH4427.

25Rezon wasH1961 Israel’sH3478 enemyH7854 throughoutH3605 the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010, adding toH854 the troubleH7451 caused by HadadH1908. So Rezon ruledH4427 overH5921 AramH758 with hostilityH6973 toward IsraelH3478.

26Now JeroboamH3379 sonH1121 of NebatH5028 was an EphraimiteH673 fromH4480 ZeredahH6868 whose motherH517H802 was a widowH490 namedH8034 ZeruahH6871. Jeroboam was a servantH5650 of SolomonH8010, but he rebelledH7311H3027 against the kingH4428,
