1 Kings 11:20

11:20 Tahpenes’ sister gave birth to his son, ¹  named Genubath. Tahpenes raised ²  him in Pharaoh’s palace; Genubath grew up in Pharaoh’s palace among Pharaoh’s sons.

1 Kings 11:19

11:19 Pharaoh liked Hadad so well ³  he gave him his sister-in-law (Queen Tahpenes’ sister) as a wife. ⁴ 

¹ tn Heb “bore him Genubath his son.”

² tc The Hebrew text reads וַתִּגְמְלֵהוּ (vattigmÿlehu, “weaned him”) but a slight alteration of the consonantal text yields וַתִּגְדְלֵהוּ (vattigdÿlehu, “raised him”), which seems to make better sense.

³ tn Heb “and Hadad found great favor in the eyes of Pharaoh.”

⁴ tn Heb “and he gave to him a wife, the sister of his wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.”
