Flavius Josephus , De oude geschiedenis van de joden, , [2014], VIII.7.6, 6. When Solomon heard this he was grieved, and greatly confounded, upon this change of almost all that happiness which had made him to be admired, into so bad a state; nor had there much time passed after the prophet had foretold what was coming before God raised up an enemy against him, whose name was Ader, who took the following occasion of his enmity to him. He was a child of the stock of the Edomites, and of the blood royal; and when Joab, the captain of David's host, laid waste the land of Edom, and destroyed all that were men grown, and able to bear arms, for six months' time, this Hadad fled away, and came to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, who received him kindly, and assigned him a house to dwell in, and a country to supply him with food; and when he was grown up he loved him exceedingly, insomuch that he gave him his wife's sister, whose name was Tahpenes, to wife, by whom he had a son; who was brought up with the king's children. When Hadad heard in Egypt that both David and Joab were dead, he came to Pharaoh, and desired that he would permit him to go to his own country; upon which the king asked what it was that he wanted, and what hardship he had met with, that he was so desirous to leave him. And when he was often troublesome to him, and entreated him to dismiss him, he did not then do it; but at the time when Solomon's affairs began to grow worse, on account of his forementioned transgressions (21) and God's anger against him for the same, Hadad, by Pharaoh's permission, came to Edom; and when he was not able to make the people forsake Solomon, for it was kept under by many garrisons, and an innovation was not to be made with safety, he removed thence, and came into Syria; there he lighted upon one Rezon, who had run away from Hadadezer, king of Zobah, his master, and was become a robber in that country, and joined friendship with him, who had already a band of robbers about him. So he went up, and seized upon that part of Syria, and was made king thereof. He also made incursions into the land of Israel, and did it no small mischief, and spoiled it, and that in the lifetime of Solomon. And this was the calamity which the Hebrews suffered by Hadad. Immanuel Velikovsky , Ages in Chaos, , [1968], 86, 1 Kings 11:19; This was in the days of David. The Pharaoh must have been Ahmose. Among his queens must have been one by the name of Tahpenes. We open the register of the Egyptian queens to see wether Pharaoh Ahmose had a queen by this name. Her name is actually preserved and read Tanethap, Tenthape, or, possibly Tahpenes. {Gauthiers, Le Livre des rois d'Egypte (Cairo, 1902), II, 187, note 3.
- - , ANE: DISCUSSION LIST FOR THE STUDY OF THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST, Journal, [0], 28 Mar 2003 / Tahpenes, - Brian Sullivan, 1 kings 11:19 claims that the wife of an unnamed pharaoh contemporary to Solomon was names Tahpenes (Heb txpnys).
Are Egyptian equivalents of this name known? Further, ..., are dateable examples of this name found for Egyptian royalty or nobility?
Encyclopedie , Jewish Encyclopedia, Tahpenes, The Edomite Hadad fled in his childhood from his home to the court of Egypt during the reign of David, and gained such favor with the Pharaoh that, on reaching maturity, he was allowed to marry Tahpenes (LXX. Θεκεμίνα), the sister of the queen. By her he had a son named Genubath, and he remained in Egypt until Solomon's accession to the throne (I Kings xi. 14-22). The name "Tahpenes" has not yet been found in Egyptian, however, and it is, therefore, uncertain what Pharaoh is intended by the Biblical passage, while the difficulty is increased by the fact that the country was then ruled by two kings, one at Thebes and the other at Tanis (Zoan) the latter being overlord of all Egypt.
