The LORD's action here is a response to Solomon's disobedience, particularly his idolatry and turning away from God (<a href="/1_kings/11.htm">1 Kings 11:1-13</a>). The term "adversary" (Hebrew: "satan") is used to describe someone who opposes or acts as an enemy. This is a fulfillment of God's warning to Solomon that if he or his descendants turned away from following Him, He would raise up adversaries (<a href="/1_kings/9-6.htm">1 Kings 9:6-9</a>). This reflects the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, where blessings and curses are contingent upon obedience (Deuteronomy 28).<p><b>Hadad the Edomite</b><br>Hadad is identified as an Edomite, linking him to the descendants of Esau, Jacob's brother (<a href="/genesis/36.htm">Genesis 36:1</a>). The Edomites had a long history of enmity with Israel, dating back to the time of the Exodus when they refused passage to the Israelites (<a href="/numbers/20-14.htm">Numbers 20:14-21</a>). This historical animosity provides context for Hadad's opposition to Solomon. The name Hadad is also associated with a storm god in the ancient Near East, suggesting a possible cultural or religious significance.<p><b>from the royal line of Edom</b><br>This detail emphasizes Hadad's noble heritage, suggesting he had a legitimate claim to leadership and influence among the Edomites. The royal line of Edom is traced back to Esau, and the mention of Hadad's lineage underscores the political and dynastic dimensions of his opposition to Solomon. This connection to the royal line may have bolstered Hadad's ability to rally support against Israel. Historically, Edom was a vassal state under David and Solomon, and Hadad's rebellion can be seen as an attempt to restore Edomite independence.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/solomon.htm">Solomon</a></b><br>The king of Israel, known for his wisdom, wealth, and building projects, including the Temple in Jerusalem.

They are, no doubt, referred to in this place in connection with the prophecy just recorded, and the notice of Jeroboam's earlier career which it suggests. But it is implied in the case of Hadad, as it is expressly declared in the case of Rezon, that their resistance continued through all Solomon's reign. They were not, therefore, crushed, even in the days of his greatness, although then probably reduced to practical insignificance; they seem to have become formidable again during his declining years.<p>(14) <span class= "bld">Hadad the Edomite.</span>--The name (or rather, title) <span class= "ital">Hadad</span> (with the kindred names <span class= "ital">Hadar, Hadadezer</span> or <span class= "ital">Hadarezer</span>, and <span class= "ital">Benhadad</span>) is most frequently found as a designation of the kings of Syria.

According to ancient authorities, it is a Syriac title of the sun--in this respect like the more celebrated title <span class= "ital">Pharaoh</span>--assumed by the king, either as indicating descent from the sun-god, or simply as an appellation of splendour and majesty. The Hadad here mentioned seems to have been the last scion of the royal house, escaping alone, as a child, from the slaughter of his kindred and people.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_kings/11.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 14.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">And the Lord stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad</span> [in ver. 17 written Adad, <span class="hebrew">אֲדַד</span>.
