9. And the Lord was angry with Solomon because his heart was turned from the Lord, the God of Israel, Who had appeared to him twice,
10. And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods, but he did not do what the Lord commanded.
11. Therefore the Lord said to Solomon, Because you are doing this and have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely rend the kingdom from you and will give it to your servant!
12. However, in your days I will not do it, for David your father's sake. But I will rend it out of the hand of your son!
13. However, I will not tear away all the kingdom, but will give one tribe to your son for David My servant's sake and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.
14. The Lord stirred up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was of royal descent in Edom.
15. For when David was in Edom, and Joab the commander of Israel's army went up to bury the slain, he slew every male in Edom.
16. For Joab and all Israel remained there for six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom.
17. But Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants, to Egypt, Hadad being yet a little child.
18. They set out from Midian and came to Paran, and took men with them out of Paran and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave [young] Hadad a house and land and ordered provisions for him.
19. Hadad found great favor with Pharaoh, so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife Tahpenes the queen.
20. The sister of Tahpenes bore Hadad Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household among the sons of Pharaoh.
21. But when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers and that Joab the commander of Israel's army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.
22. Then Pharaoh said to him, But what have you lacked with me that now you want to go to your own country? He replied, Nothing. However, let me go anyhow.
