1 Kings 11:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶ (Joab and all of Israel had remained in Edom for six months until Joab had killed every male in Edom.) ¹⁷ But Hadad ran away to Egypt. Some of the Edomites who guarded Hadad’s father traveled with Hadad in order to look after him because he was only a boy at the time. ¹⁸ They traveled from Midian and arrived at Paran. They gathered men from Paran to journey with them, and they arrived in Egypt. They went to Pharaoh, Egypt’s king, and he provided Hadad with a place to stay and with food. Pharaoh also gave him his own land; he treated Hadad as family.
