Solomon’s Adversaries
14 Then the Lord raised up against Solomon an adversary,(A) Hadad the Edomite, from the royal line of Edom. 15 Earlier when David was fighting with Edom, Joab the commander of the army, who had gone up to bury the dead, had struck down all the men in Edom.(B) 16 Joab and all the Israelites stayed there for six months, until they had destroyed all the men in Edom. 17 But Hadad, still only a boy, fled to Egypt with some Edomite officials who had served his father. 18 They set out from Midian and went to Paran.(C) Then taking people from Paran with them, they went to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave Hadad a house and land and provided him with food.
19 Pharaoh was so pleased with Hadad that he gave him a sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, in marriage. 20 The sister of Tahpenes bore him a son named Genubath, whom Tahpenes brought up in the royal palace. There Genubath lived with Pharaoh’s own children.
21 While he was in Egypt, Hadad heard that David rested with his ancestors and that Joab the commander of the army was also dead. Then Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me go, that I may return to my own country.”
22 “What have you lacked here that you want to go back to your own country?” Pharaoh asked.
“Nothing,” Hadad replied, “but do let me go!”
23 And God raised up against Solomon another adversary,(D) Rezon son of Eliada, who had fled from his master, Hadadezer(E) king of Zobah. 24 When David destroyed Zobah’s army, Rezon gathered a band of men around him and became their leader; they went to Damascus,(F) where they settled and took control. 25 Rezon was Israel’s adversary as long as Solomon lived, adding to the trouble caused by Hadad. So Rezon ruled in Aram(G) and was hostile toward Israel.

14 Entonces el Señor levantó un adversario a Salomón, Hadad el edomita; este era de linaje real en Edom. 15 Sucedió que cuando David estaba en Edom(A), Joab, el jefe del ejército, subió a enterrar a los muertos y mató a todos los varones(B) de Edom 16 (pues Joab y todo Israel permanecieron allí seis meses hasta que dieron muerte a todos los varones en Edom), 17 pero Hadad huyó a Egipto, él y algunos edomitas de los siervos de su padre con él, siendo Hadad aún un muchacho. 18 Salieron de Madián y fueron a Parán(C). Tomaron consigo hombres de Parán y fueron a Egipto, a Faraón, rey de Egipto, quien le dio a Hadad una casa, le asignó alimentos y le dio tierra. 19 Hadad halló gran favor ante los ojos de Faraón, y este le dio por mujer a la hermana de su esposa, la hermana de la reina Tahpenes. 20 La hermana de Tahpenes dio a luz a su hijo Genubat, a quien Tahpenes destetó en casa de Faraón; y Genubat permaneció en casa de Faraón entre los hijos de Faraón. 21 Pero cuando Hadad oyó en Egipto que David había dormido con sus padres(D), y que Joab, jefe del ejército, había muerto, Hadad dijo a Faraón: «Despídame para que vaya a mi tierra». 22 Entonces Faraón le dijo: «¿Qué te ha faltado junto a mí, que ahora procuras irte a tu tierra?». Y él respondió: «Nada; sin embargo, debe dejarme ir».
23 Dios también le levantó otro adversario a Salomón(E), a Rezón, hijo de Eliada, el cual había huido de su señor Hadad Ezer, rey de Soba(F); 24 y había reunido consigo hombres y se había hecho jefe de una banda de merodeadores, después que David mató a los de Soba(G); y fueron a Damasco y permanecieron allí, y reinaron en Damasco. 25 Rezón fue adversario de Israel durante todos los días de Salomón, además de la maldad hecha por Hadad; y aborreció a Israel y reinó sobre Aram.

1 Kings 11:14-25
King James Version
14 And the Lord stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom.
15 For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom;
16 (For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom:)
17 That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child.
18 And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran: and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt; which gave him an house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.
19 And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.
20 And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household among the sons of Pharaoh.
21 And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country.
22 Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country? And he answered, Nothing: howbeit let me go in any wise.
23 And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:
24 And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a band, when David slew them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus.
25 And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.

14 And the Lord raised up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite. He was of the royal house in Edom. 15 For (A)when David was in Edom, and Joab the commander of the army went up to bury the slain, he struck down every male in Edom 16 (for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom). 17 But Hadad fled to Egypt, together with certain Edomites of his father's servants, Hadad still being a little child. 18 They set out from Midian and came to (B)Paran and took men with them from Paran and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house and assigned him an allowance of food and gave him land. 19 And Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen. 20 And the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house.

23 God also raised up as an adversary to him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his master (D)Hadadezer king of Zobah. 24 And he gathered men about him and became leader of a marauding band, (E)after the killing by David. And they went to Damascus and lived there and made him king in Damascus. 25 He was an adversary of Israel all the days of Solomon, doing harm as Hadad did. And he loathed Israel and reigned over Syria.
