Genubath Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Genubath is mentioned in 1Ki 11:20 as the son of Hadad, an Edomite prince who fled to Egypt during King David's reign. Hadad found favor with Pharaoh, who gave him a house, land, and food, and also arranged for him to marry the sister of Queen Tahpenes (1Ki 11:19). Genubath was born to Hadad and his Egyptian wife, and he was raised in Pharaoh's palace alongside the Pharaoh's own children (1Ki 11:20). This indicates that Hadad and his family were well-respected and had a high status in the Egyptian court. The mention of Genubath's upbringing in the palace suggests that he may have had a significant role or influence later in life, although no further details are provided about his life or accomplishments.
