Old Testament

The father of Tahpenes, an Egyptian Pharaoh who gave his daughter in marriage to Hadad the Edomite.

The father of Tahpenes, the Egyptian queen who gave her sister in marriage to Hadad the Edomite and whose household raised Hadad's son Genubath (1 Kings 11:19–20), is identified as a Pharaoh — likely the Pharaoh who also sheltered Jeroboam and Hadad as political refugees from Solomon's reach. The text does not name this Egyptian ruler, and scholarly attempts to identify him with a specific historical pharaoh remain uncertain. He fathered both Tahpenes and the unnamed sister given to Hadad in marriage.
