1 Kings 11:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ Earlier, David had defeated Edom. When Joab, the commander of David’s army, went into Edom to bury the dead [^CIsraelite soldiers], he ·killed [slaughtered] all the males. ¹⁶ Joab and all the Israelites stayed in Edom for six months and ·killed [exterminated; eliminated] every male in Edom. ¹⁷ At that time Hadad was only a young boy, so he ·ran away [fled; escaped] to Egypt with some of his father’s ·officers [servants].
