1 Kings 11:15-18

15When David was king, he had fought against Edom's people. Joab, the leader of David's army, had gone to Edom to bury the dead Israelite soldiers. At that time, Joab killed all the men in Edom.

16Joab and Israel's army stayed in Edom for six months. During that time, they killed all the men in Edom.

17Hadad was a small boy at that time. He escaped from Edom with some of his father's officers. They went towards Egypt.

18They went from Midian as far as Paran. They took some men from Paran and they all went to Egypt. They went to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. Pharaoh gave Hadad a house to live in and food to eat. He also gave Hadad some land.
