1 Kings 11:19-21

Contemporary English Version

^17-19 Hadad was a boy at the time, but he escaped to Midian with some of his father's officials. At Paran some other men joined them, and they went to the king of Egypt. The king liked Hadad and gave him food, some land, and a house, and even let him marry the sister of Queen Tahpenes. ²⁰ Hadad and his wife had a son named Genubath, and the queen let the boy grow up in the palace with her own children.

²¹ When Hadad heard that David and Joab were dead, he said to the king, “Your Majesty, please let me go back to my own country.”
