14The LORD raised up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was from the seed of the king in Edom.15It was when David was in Edom, and Joab the chief of the army went up to bury the slain, that he struck every male in Edom.16For Joab remained there with all Israel for six months until he had exterminated every male in Edom.17And Hadad fled—he and some men, Edomites from the servants of his father—with him to go to Egypt. And Hadad was a young boy.18They arose from Midian and came to Paran. And they took people with them from Paran and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt. And he gave him a house and bread, he said to him, and land he gave him.19And Hadad found grace in the eyes of Pharaoh very much. And he gave him a wife, the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.20She bore him Genubath his son, the brother of Tahpenes. And Tahpenes weaned him in the midst of the house of Pharaoh. And Genubath was in the midst of the house of Pharaoh among the sons of Pharaoh.21And Hadad heard in Egypt that David had been laid to rest with his fathers and that Joab the commander of the army had died. And Hadad said to Pharaoh, "Send me away so that I may go to my land."22Pharaoh said to him, "What are you lacking with me that here you are seeking to go to your land?" He said, "No, but if you send me, send me away."23And God raised up an adversary against him, Rezon son of Eliada, who had fled from Hadadezer king of Zobah his lord.24He gathered people around him and became chief of a band when David killed them of Zobah, and they went to Damascus and dwelt in it and reigned in Damascus.25He was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, along with the evil that Hadad aroused in Israel, and he reigned over Aram.
