When Baal-Hanan died, Hadad succeeded him; the name of his city was Pai. ¹  His wife was Mehetabel, daughter of Matred, daughter of Me-Zahab.

“But who am I and who are my people, that we should be in a position to contribute this much? ¹  Indeed, everything comes from you, and we have simply given back to you what is yours. ²
