1 Kings 11:14-17

14Now the Lord raised up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was a descendant of the king in Edom.

15For it happened, when David was in Edom, and Joab the commander of the army had gone up to bury the slain, after he had killed every male in Edom

16(because for six months Joab remained there with all Israel, until he had cut down every male in Edom),

17that Hadad fled to go to Egypt, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him. Hadad was still a little child.
