KJV - 1 Kings 11:21
And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country.
When Hadad learned in Egypt that David had died and Joab, the army leader, was also dead, he told Pharaoh, "Let me leave now so I can return to my homeland."
