1 Kings 11:23 in Context — 1 Kings 11

21 Y oyendo Adad en Egipto que David había dormido con sus padres, y que era muerto Joab general del ejército, Adad dijo á Faraón: Déjame ir á mi tierra.

22 Y respondióle Faraón: ¿Por qué? ¿qué te falta conmigo, que procuras irte á tu tierra? Y él respondió: Nada; con todo, ruégote que me dejes ir.

23 Despertóle también Dios por adversario á Rezón, hijo de Eliada, el cual había huído de su amo Adad-ezer, rey de Soba.

24 Y había juntado gente contra él, y habíase hecho capitán de una compañía, cuando David deshizo á los [de Soba]. Después se fueron á Damasco, y habitaron allí, é hiciéronle rey en Damasco.

25 Y fué adversario á Israel todos los días de Salomón; y fué otro mal con el de Adad, porque aborreció á Israel, y reinó sobre la Siria.
