1 Kings 11:14-26

14Then the LordH3068 raisedH6965 up an adversaryH7854 to SolomonH8010, HadadH1908 the EdomiteH130; he was of the 1royalH4428 lineH2233 in EdomH112. 15For it cameH1961 about, 2when DavidH1732 was in EdomH112, and JoabH3097 the commanderH8269 of the armyH6635 had goneH5927 up to buryH6912 the slainH2491, and had 3struckH5221 downH5221 everyH3605 maleH2145 in EdomH112 16(for JoabH3097 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 stayedH3427 thereH8033 sixH8337 monthsH2320, untilH5704 he had cutH3772 offH3772 everyH3605 maleH2145 in EdomH112), 17that HadadH1908 fledH1272 4to EgyptH4714, he and certainH376 EdomitesH130 of his father’sH1 servantsH5650 with him, while HadadH1908 was a youngH6996 boyH5288. 18They aroseH6965 from MidianH4080 and cameH935 to 5ParanH6290; and they tookH3947 menH376 with them from ParanH6290 and cameH935 to EgyptH4714, to PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, who gaveH5414 him a houseH1004 and assignedH559 him foodH3899 and gaveH5414 him landH776. 19Now HadadH1908 foundH4672 greatH3966 favorH2580 6beforeH5869 PharaohH6547, so that he gaveH5414 him in marriageH802 the sisterH269 of his own wifeH802, the sisterH269 of TahpenesH8472 the queenH1377. 20The sisterH269 of TahpenesH8472 boreH3205 his sonH1121 GenubathH1592, whom TahpenesH8472 weanedH1580 in Pharaoh’sH6547 houseH1004; and GenubathH1592 was in Pharaoh’sH6547 houseH1004 amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of PharaohH6547. 21But 7when HadadH1908 heardH8085 in EgyptH4714 that DavidH1732 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1 and that JoabH3097 the commanderH8269 of the armyH6635 was deadH4191, HadadH1908 saidH559 to PharaohH6547, “SendH7971 me awayH7971, that I may goH1980 to my own countryH776.” 22Then PharaohH6547 saidH559 to him, “But whatH4100 have you lackedH2638 with me, that beholdH2009, you are seekingH1245 to goH1980 to your own countryH776?” And he answeredH559, “NothingH3808; neverthelessH3588 you must surelyH7971 8letH7971 me goH7971.”

239GodH430 also raisedH6965 up another adversaryH7854 to him, RezonH7331 the sonH1121 of EliadaH450, whoH834 had fledH1272 from his lordH113 10HadadezerH1909 kingH4428 of ZobahH6678. 24He gatheredH6908 menH376 to himself and becameH1961 leaderH8269 of a maraudingH1416 bandH1416, 11after DavidH1732 slewH2026 them of Zobah; and they wentH1980 to DamascusH1834 and stayedH3427 12there, and reignedH4427 in DamascusH1834. 25So he was an adversaryH7854 to IsraelH3478 allH3605 the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010, along with the evilH7463 that HadadH1908 did; and he abhorredH6973 IsraelH3478 and reignedH4427 overH5921 AramH758.

26Then 13JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, an EphraimiteH673 of ZeredahH6868, Solomon’sH8010 servantH5650, whose mother’sH517 nameH8034 was ZeruahH6871, a widowH490, 14also 15rebelledH7311H3027 against the kingH4428.
