SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:18
Y se levantaron de Madián, y vinieron a Parán; y tomando consigo varones de Parán, vinieron a Egipto, a Faraón rey de Egipto, el cual le dio casa, y le mandó dar alimentos, y también le dio tierra.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 11:18
Verse 18. These arose out of Midian] They at first retired to Midian, which lay to the southwest of the Dead Sea. Not supposing themselves in safety there, they went afterwards to Paran in the south of Idumea, and getting a number of persons to join them in Paran, they went straight to Egypt, where we find Hadad became a favourite with Pharaoh, who gave him his sister-in-law to wife; and incorporated him and his family with his own.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. And they arose out of Midian , etc.] A country which lay in their way to Egypt, and where it seems they made some stay, and then departed: and came to Paran ; near to which was a wilderness of the same name, in which the Israelites wandered when they came out of Egypt, and which lay between Edom and Egypt: and they took men with them out of Paran ; either as guides and guards through the wilderness, or to make the better appearance before Pharaoh, and that they might meet with the better reception: and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt ; and told their case, and informed him who Hadad was: who, pitying an unfortunate young prince, gave him an house ; for him and his servants to dwell in: and appointed him victuals ; a daily provision for him and his men: and gave him land ; for his servants to cultivate, and from thence to raise a revenue for his support; the Jewish writers say he gave him cities to rule over; but as he was but a little child when he came, it cannot be thought that was done, at least directly.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 14-25 - While Solomon kept close to God and to his duty, there was no enemy to give him uneasiness; but here we have an account of two. If against us he can make us fear even the least, and the very grasshopper shall be burden. Though they were moved by principles of ambition or revenge God used them to correct Solomon.
