1 Kings 11:15-18

15During David’s campaign against Edom, Joab, the commander of the army, while on a mission to bury the dead, killed every male in Edom.

16For six months Joab and the entire Israelite army stayed there until they had exterminated every male in Edom.

17Hadad, who was only a small boy at the time, escaped with some of his father’s Edomite servants and headed for Egypt.

18They went from Midian to Paran; they took some men from Paran and went to Egypt. Pharaoh, king of Egypt, supplied him with a house and food and even assigned him some land.
