Hadad Flees to Egypt
After Joab had defeated the Edomites, the young Hadad fled to Egypt, where the pharaoh welcomed him and gave him land, food, and a house.
18They set out from Midian and came to Paran; there they took men with them and went on to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave Hadad a house, provided for his food, and granted him land.
After Hadad heard that David and Joab were dead, he asked the pharaoh for permission to return to his own land, where he became an adversary of Solomon as God's judgment on Solomon's apostasy.
21While Hadad was in Egypt, he heard that David had gone to rest with his fathers and that Joab the commander of the army was dead. So Hadad said to Pharaoh, "Let me go, that I may return to my own country."
24He gathered men around him and became the leader of a raiding band after David struck them down. They went to Damascus, settled there, and made him king in Damascus.
