New American Standard Bible
14Then the Lord raised up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was of the royal line in Edom.
15For it came about, when David was in Edom and Joab the commander of the army had gone up to bury those killed in battle, and had struck and killed every male in Edom
16(for Joab and all Israel stayed there for six months, until he had eliminated every male in Edom),
17that Hadad fled to Egypt, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him, while Hadad was a young boy.
18They set out from Midian and came to Paran; and they took men with them from Paran and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house and assigned him food and gave him land.

17That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child.
