Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
11:14-40 God delivered Solomon’s punishment through three political adversaries, Hadad, Rezon, and Jeroboam (see 11:40). 11:14-22 Solomon’s first adversary was Hadad. David had fought against the Edomites and defeated them with a great slaughter (2 Sam 8:13-14; 1 Chr 18:13-14). Hadad was the only member of the Edomite royal house to survive and escape. He had gone to Egypt with a number of followers, where the Egyptian king received him as a potential ally and gave him his wife’s sister in marriage. When David and . . . Joab died, Hadad returned to Edom, awaiting an opportunity to retaliate against Israel.
