1 Kings 11:14-16

New Century Version

Solomon’s Enemies

¹⁴ The Lord caused Hadad the Edomite, a member of the family of the king of Edom, to become Solomon’s enemy. ¹⁵ Earlier, David had defeated Edom. When Joab, the commander of David’s army, went into Edom to bury the dead, he killed all the males. ¹⁶ Joab and all the Israelites stayed in Edom for six months and killed every male in Edom.
