1 Kings 11:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ But at that time Hadad was only a young boy. So he ran away to Egypt with some of his father’s officers. ¹⁸ They left Midian and went to Paran. In Paran other men joined them. Then they all went to Egypt to see the king. He gave Hadad a house, some land and food to eat.

¹⁹ The king liked Hadad so much he gave Hadad a wife. She was the sister of Tahpenes, the king’s wife.
