11:14 Shelomoh’s enemies

14Then Yahweh caused Hadad the Edomite (and a descendant of the Edomite king) to stand against Shelomoh. 15In the past when David had been in Edom with his army commander Yoav to bury their dead, they had killed every male in Edom. 16(Yoav and the Israeli warriors had had to stay there for six months to kill the Edomite males.) 17However, Hadad had been a small child at that time, and he’d fled to Egypt with some of his father’s Edomite servants. 18They’d passed through Midyan and then Paran where they’d gained some more men before entering Egypt where King Far-oh gave him a house and land, and provided him with food. 19Far-oh took a liking to Hadad and gave him his wife Queen Tahpenes’ sister to marry. 20Tahpenes’ sister gave birth to his son Genubath, his son, and Tahpenes weaned him in the midst of the house of Pharaoh. And Genubath was in the house of Pharaoh in the midst of the sons of Pharaoh.

21When Hadad in Egypt heard that both David and his army commander Yoav had died, Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Give me permission to leave, and I’ll go back to my land.”

22But Far-oh asked him, “But what’s wrong with staying here? You’ve stunned me by asking to go to your land.”

“Nothing’s lacking here,” he replied, “but I have to goplease give me permission to leave.”

23God also caused Elyada’s son Rezon to stand against Shelomoh. He’d run away from his master, King Hadadezer in Tsovah, 24then he’d gathered men for himself and had become a commander of a raiding band. When David attacked them, they went to Dammesek (Damascus). They lived there and gained control of the city. 25Then during all of Shelomoh’s reign, he’d been outspoken against Israel—encouraged by the evil that Hadad did. He reigned over Syria (Aram) and he loathed Israel.

Solomon’s Enemies

1 Kings 11

Solomon ruled over a powerful kingdom that brought him great wealth, but he allowed his many wives to lead his heart astray to worship the gods of other nations. Many of these wives were likely given to him by foreign rulers to seal political alliances (e.g., 1 Kings 3:1). Because of Solomon’s unfaithfulness to the God of Israel, the Lord declared that he would tear away much of the kingdom from Solomon and give it to one of his servants. The Bible then recounts the origins of a few adversaries of Solomon who must have caused trouble during his reign. It was actually events during David’s reign that precipitated the rise of two of these adversaries, though apparently it wasn’t until Solomon’s reign that these men became significant agents of opposition. The first adversary mentioned is Hadad the Edomite, who belonged to the royal court of Edom. Sometime during the time when David was in Edom (see 2 Samuel 8:13-14) his commander Joab tried to kill every male in Edom, but Hadad fled with some of his father’s servants. Apparently he fled first to Midian (see 1 Kings 11:18) and then made his way to Paran, where others joined him, and then they crossed the wilderness to Egypt. There Hadad was very favorably received by Pharaoh and given land, food, and even a wife from Pharaoh’s royal household. After David died, Hadad chose to return to Edom. The second adversary mentioned is Rezon, who had fled from King Hadadezer of Zobah and became the leader of a gang of rebels. After David defeated Hadadezer (2 Samuel 8-10; 1 Chronicles 18-19), Rezon and his men fled to Damascus, where they made him king over Aram. He continued to cause trouble for Solomon throughout his reign. The last adversary mentioned is Jeroboam son of Nebat, one of Solomon’s own officials, who had been put in charge of rebuilding a portion of Jerusalem. One day as Jeroboam was leaving the city, a prophet named Ahijah met him and told him that the Lord was going to tear away ten of the tribes of Israel and give them to him. Solomon must have heard about Ahijah’s prophecy, because he tried to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam fled to King Shishak of Egypt. Later Jeroboam would return to Israel, and the ten northern tribes appointed him king after rejecting the rule of Rehoboam, the son of Solomon (1 Kings 12; 2 Chronicles 10).
