During David’s campaign against Edom, Joab, the commander of the army, while on a mission to bury the dead, killed every male in Edom.
For Joab and the entire Israelite army stayed there six months until they had exterminated every male in Edom.
Hadad, who was only a small boy at the time, escaped with some of his father’s Edomite servants and headed for Egypt.
They went from Midian to Paran; they took some men from Paran and went to Egypt. Pharaoh, king of Egypt, gave him a house and some land and supplied him with food.
Pharaoh liked Hadad so well he gave him his sister-in-law(Queen Tahpenes’ sister) as a wife.
Tahpenes’ sister gave birth to his son, named Genubath. Tahpenes raised him in Pharaoh’s palace; Genubath grew up in Pharaoh’s palace among Pharaoh’s sons.
While in Egypt Hadad heard that David had passed away and that Joab, the commander of the army, was dead. So Hadad asked Pharaoh,“Give me permission to leave so I can return to my homeland.”
