The sister of Tahpenes is mentioned in 1Ki 11:19 as an Egyptian queen who was given in marriage to Hadad, an Edomite prince who fled to Egypt after King David's conquest of Edom. Pharaoh, the father of Tahpenes, showed favor to Hadad and provided for him, even giving him the queen's sister as a wife. This marriage alliance demonstrates the Pharaoh's support for Hadad and his willingness to grant him refuge in Egypt. The name of Tahpenes' sister is not specified in the biblical text.
