1 Kings 11:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁷ Hadad was a small boy at that time. He escaped from Edom with some of his father's officers. They went towards Egypt. ¹⁸ They went from Midian as far as Paran. They took some men from Paran and they all went to Egypt. They went to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. Pharaoh gave Hadad a house to live in and food to eat. He also gave Hadad some land. ¹⁹ Pharaoh was very pleased with Hadad, so he gave Hadad a wife. She was the sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes.
