1 Kings 11:13-16 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

13. But I will not tear the whole kingdom away from him. I will give him one of the tribes because of my servant David. I will also do it because of Jerusalem. That is the city I have chosen."

14. Then the Lord brought an enemy against Solomon. The enemy's name was Hadad. He was from Edom. In fact, he belonged to the royal family of Edom.

15. David had fought against Edom. Joab had been the commander of the army. He had gone up to bury the dead bodies of the Israelites who had been killed in battle. At that time he had struck down all of the men in Edom.

16. In fact, Joab and all of the men of Israel stayed there for six months. During that time they destroyed all of the men in Edom.
