| Thine enemies - e. g. Hadad the Edomite Kg1 11:14-22 and Rezon the son of Eliadah Kg1 11:23-25, whom Solomon might well have wished to remove. |
23 And God [0430] stirred him up [06965] another adversary [07854], Rezon [07331] the son [01121] of Eliadah [0450], which fled [01272] from his lord [0113] Hadadezer [01909] king [04428] of Zobah [06678]:
24 And he gathered [06908] men [0582] unto him, and became captain [08269] over a band [01416], when David [01732] slew [02026] them of Zobah: and they went [03212] to Damascus [01834], and dwelt [03427] therein, and reigned [04427] in Damascus [01834].
25 And he was an adversary [07854] to Israel [03478] all the days [03117] of Solomon [08010], beside the mischief [07451] that Hadad [01908] did: and he abhorred [06973] Israel [03478], and reigned [04427] over Syria [0758].
14 And the LORD [03068] stirred up [06965] an adversary [07854] unto Solomon [08010], Hadad [01908] the Edomite [0130]: he was of the king's [04428] seed [02233] in Edom [0123].
15 For it came to pass, when David [01732] was in Edom [0123], and Joab [03097] the captain [08269] of the host [06635] was gone up [05927] to bury [06912] the slain [02491], after he had smitten [05221] every male [02145] in Edom [0123];
16 (For six [08337] months [02320] did Joab [03097] remain [03427] there with all Israel [03478], until he had cut off [03772] every male [02145] in Edom [0123]:)
17 That Hadad [0111] fled [01272], he and certain [0582] Edomites [0130] of his father's [01] servants [05650] with him, to go [0935] into Egypt [04714]; Hadad [01908] being yet a little [06996] child [05288].
18 And they arose [06965] out of Midian [04080], and came [0935] to Paran [06290]: and they took [03947] men [0582] with them out of Paran [06290], and they came [0935] to Egypt [04714], unto Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714]; which gave [05414] him an house [01004], and appointed [0559] him victuals [03899], and gave [05414] him land [0776].
19 And Hadad [01908] found [04672] great [03966] favour [02580] in the sight [05869] of Pharaoh [06547], so that he gave [05414] him to wife [0802] the sister [0269] of his own wife [0802], the sister [0269] of Tahpenes [08472] the queen [01377].
20 And the sister [0269] of Tahpenes [08472] bare [03205] him Genubath [01592] his son [01121], whom Tahpenes [08472] weaned [01580] in [08432] Pharaoh's [06547] house [01004]: and Genubath [01592] was in Pharaoh's [06547] household [01004] among [08432] the sons [01121] of Pharaoh [06547].
21 And when Hadad [01908] heard [08085] in Egypt [04714] that David [01732] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and that Joab [03097] the captain [08269] of the host [06635] was dead [04191], Hadad [01908] said [0559] to Pharaoh [06547], Let me depart [07971], that I may go [03212] to mine own country [0776].
22 Then Pharaoh [06547] said [0559] unto him, But what hast thou lacked [02638] with me, that, behold, thou seekest [01245] to go [03212] to thine own country [0776]? And he answered [0559], Nothing: howbeit let me go [07971] in any wise [07971].
