Hadad: Exodus 2:1-10, 2 Samuel 4:4, 2 Kings 11:2, Matthew 2:13, Matthew 2:14
a little child: Naar katon, rather, "a little boy:" one who was apprehensive of his danger, and could, with his father's servants, make his escape.
Reciprocal: Deuteronomy 11:29 - General
Gill's Notes on the Bible
That Hadad fled,.... While Joab was burying the slain:
he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him; who either was a king, and these some of his officers and courtiers; or however was of the royal family, and had an equipage, and these some of them:
to go into Egypt; that was their view at first setting out, where they might hope for help, at least shelter:
Hadad being yet a little child; whom his father's servants hid, while Joab was making the slaughter he did, and took the opportunity of fleeing with him while he was burying the dead.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 11:17. Hadad being yet a little child. — נער קטן naar katan, a little boy; one who was apprehensive of his danger, and could, with his father's servants, make his escape: not an infant.
