The Lord brought against Solomon an enemy, Hadad the Edomite, a descendant of the Edomite king.

King Solomon fell in love with many foreign women (besides Pharaoh’s daughter), including Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites.

Hadad, who was only a small boy at the time, escaped with some of his father’s Edomite servants and headed for Egypt.
