Contextual Overview

14 Then the Lord sent Hadad the Edomite to make trouble for Solomon. He was of the king's family in Edom. 15 For when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the army had gone up to bury the dead, he killed every male in Edom. 16 (For Joab and all Israel stayed there six months, until he had killed every male in Edom.) 17 But Hadad ran away to Egypt, together with certain Edomites of his father's servants, while Hadad was still a young boy. 18 They came from Midian to Paran. Then they took men with them from Paran and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt. Pharaoh gave Hadad a house and food and land. 19 Now Hadad found much favor in the eyes of Pharaoh. So Pharaoh gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen. 20 Tahpenes' sister gave birth to his son Genubath, whom Tahpenes took care of in Pharaoh's house. Genubath was in Pharaoh's house among the sons of Pharaoh. 21 But Hadad heard in Egypt that David and Joab the captain of David's army were dead. So Hadad said to Pharaoh, "Send me away, so I may return to my own country." 22 Pharaoh said to him, "But what have you been without while you stayed with me? Why do you want to go to your own country?" Hadad answered, "Nothing. But even so, let me go." 23 God sent Rezon the son of Eliada against Solomon also. Rezon had run away from his owner Hadadezer king of Zobah.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For six months did Joab remain with all Israel,.... With the whole army:

until he had cut off every male in Edom; as he supposed; for it was not fact, since after this they increased again, and became a powerful people, and had a king over them, and revolted from Judah, 2 Kings 8:20.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Every male in Edom - i. e., every male whom he could find. As did Hadad and his company 1 Kings 11:17, so others would escape in various directions. The Edomite nation was not destroyed on the occasion.
