Context — Hadad’s Return
18Hadad and his men set out from Midian and went to Paran. They took men from Paran with them and went to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave Hadad a house and land and provided him with food.
19There Hadad found such great favor in the sight of Pharaoh that he gave to him in marriage the sister of Queen Tahpenes, his own wife.
20And the sister of Tahpenes bore Hadad a son named Genubath. Tahpenes herself weaned him in Pharaoh’s palace, and Genubath lived there among the sons of Pharaoh.
21When Hadad heard in Egypt that David had rested with his fathers and that Joab, the commander of the army, was dead, he said to Pharaoh, “Let me go, that I may return to my own country.” 22But Pharaoh asked him, “What have you lacked here with me that you suddenly want to go back to your own country?” “Nothing,” Hadad replied, “but please let me go.”Cross References

1 Kings 11:20 Summary
This verse tells us about a woman named Tahpenes, who was the queen of Egypt, and her sister, who had a son named Genubath with an Edomite prince named Hadad. Tahpenes took care of Genubath and raised him in the palace of Pharaoh, where he was treated like one of the king's own sons, similar to how Esther was raised by Mordecai in Esther 2:7. This shows us that even in unexpected places, God can provide for us and give us a sense of belonging, just as He did for the Israelites in Exodus 2:10. It also reminds us that the way we raise and care for children is important, as it can shape their future and help them grow into the people God wants them to be, as seen in Proverbs 22:6.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who was Tahpenes and what was her role in the royal court of Egypt?
Tahpenes was the queen of Egypt, and her sister was given in marriage to Hadad, an Edomite prince, as seen in 1 Kings 11:19. This marriage was a strategic move by Pharaoh to form an alliance with Hadad.
What does it mean that Genubath lived among the sons of Pharaoh?
This means that Genubath, the son of Hadad and Tahpenes' sister, was raised in the royal palace of Egypt, alongside the sons of Pharaoh, and was likely given the same privileges and education as they were, much like Moses was raised in the palace of Pharaoh in Exodus 2:10
Why was Tahpenes involved in weaning Genubath?
As the queen, Tahpenes took a maternal role in caring for Genubath, weaning him, and likely helped to raise him in the ways of the Egyptian royal court, as seen in 1 Kings 11:20
What can we learn from the way Genubath was raised in the palace of Pharaoh?
We can learn that even in a foreign land, God can provide for and care for His people, just as He did for Joseph in Genesis 37:28 and Daniel in Daniel 1:9
Reflection Questions
- How does this verse show God's sovereignty over the lives of individuals, even those in positions of power?
- What can we learn from the relationships between Hadad, Tahpenes, and Pharaoh, and how can we apply those lessons to our own relationships?
- In what ways can we see God's providence at work in the life of Genubath, and how can that encourage us in our own lives?
- How does this verse remind us of the importance of mentorship and discipleship, as seen in the way Tahpenes cared for Genubath?
Gill's Exposition on 1 Kings 11:20
And the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son,.... Which signifies "stealth", and the name might be given in memory of himself being carried away by stealth from his own land: whom Tahpenes
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Kings 11:20
And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Kings 11:20
1 Kings 11:20 And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’ s house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh’ s household among the sons of Pharaoh. Ver. 20. Whom Taphenes weaned in Pharaoh’ s house.] This implieth, saith an interpreter, that though she was a princess, yet she gave suck to her child, as Genesis 22:1; Genesis 22:8.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Kings 11:20
(20) Genubath is similarly unknown. The weaning in the house of Pharaoh, no doubt with the customary festival (comp. Genesis 20:18), indicated the admittance of the child into the royal family of Egypt.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Kings 11:20
20. weaned] The weaning of a child was a great event in Eastern families, and an occasion of much rejoicing. Abraham made a feast (Genesis 21:8) the same day that Isaac was weaned. This may account for the part taken by the queen in this event.
