1 Kings 11:16-18

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁶ (Joab and all Israel stayed there six months until they had destroyed every male in Edom.) ¹⁷ Hadad was a young boy at the time. He and some of his father’s Edomite servants fled to Egypt. ¹⁸ They left Midian and went to Paran. Taking some men from Paran with them, they went to Pharaoh (the king of Egypt). Pharaoh gave Hadad a home, a food allowance, and land.
