1 Kings 11:17-18
Context11:17 Hadad, 1 who was only a small boy at the time, escaped with some of his father’s Edomite servants and headed for Egypt. 2 11:18 They went from Midian to Paran; they took some men from Paran and went to Egypt. Pharaoh, king of Egypt, supplied him with a house and food and even assigned him some land. 3
1 tn The MT reads “Adad,” an alternate form of the name Hadad.
2 tn Heb “and Adad fled, he and Edomite men from the servants of his father, to go to Egypt, and Hadad was a small boy.”
3 tn Heb “and they arose from Midian and went to Paran and they took men with them from Paran and went to Egypt to Pharaoh king of Egypt and he gave to him a house and food and he said to him, and a land he gave to him.” Something seems to be accidentally omitted after “and he said to him.”
