Hadad (the Edomite)
하닷 (에돔 사람)
Named at 1 Kings 11:14: “The LORD raised up an adversary to Solomon: Hadad the Edomite. He was one of the king’s offspring in Edom.” At 11:15–18, when David was in Edom and Joab the captain of the army had struck every male in Edom, Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt, when Hadad was still a little child; they arose out of Midian and came to Paran, and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt. At 11:19–20 Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen, and the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son. At 11:21–22, when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.” 11:25 says of Rezon, “He was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, in addition to the mischief of Hadad.”

14The LORD raised up an adversary to Solomon: Hadad the Edomite. He was one of the king’s offspring in Edom.
15For when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the army had gone up to bury the slain, and had struck every male in Edom
16(for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom),
17Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt, when Hadad was still a little child.
18They arose out of Midian and came to Paran; and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, and appointed him food, and gave him land.
19Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.
20The sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh’s house among the sons of Pharaoh.
21When Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.”
22Then Pharaoh said to him, “But what have you lacked with me, that behold, you seek to go to your own country?” He answered, “Nothing, however only let me depart.”
