1 Kings 11:19-21

International Children’s Bible

¹⁹ The king liked Hadad so much he gave Hadad a wife. She was the sister of Tahpenes, the king’s wife. ²⁰ They had a son named Genubath. Queen Tahpenes allowed him to grow up in the royal palace. So he grew up with the king’s own children.

²¹ While he was in Egypt, Hadad heard that David had died. He also heard that Joab, the commander of the army, was dead. So Hadad said to the king, “Let me go home. Let me return to my own country.”
