Notes

1 Kings 11:14–22

Solomon's first enemy was Hadad. David had fought the Edomites and defeated them severely (2 Samuel 8:13–14; 1 Chronicles 18:13Œ14). Hadad was the only survivor from the Edomite royal family. He escaped to Egypt with some followers. The Egyptian king welcomed him as a possible ally and gave him his wife's sister to marry. When David and Joab died, Hadad returned to Edom, waiting for a chance to strike back at Israel.

1 Kings 11:14–40

God delivered Solomon’s punishment through three political adversaries, Hadad, Rezon, and Jeroboam (see 1 Kings 11:40).
