The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): eratque adversarius Israëli cunctis diebus Salomonis : et hoc est malum Adad, et odium contra Israël : regnavitque in Syria.
Septuagint (Swete) shown from 3 Kings 11:22: καὶ εἶπεν Φαραὼ τῷ Ἁδέρ Τίνι σὺ ἐλαττονῇ μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἰδοὺ σὺ ζητεῖς ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὴν γῆν σου; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἁδέρ Ὅτι ἐξαποστέλλων ἐξαποστελεῖς με· καὶ ἀνέστρεψεν Ἁδὲρ εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ. αὕτη ἡ κακία ἣν ἐποίησεν Ἁδέρ· καὶ ἐβαρυθύμησεν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν τῇ Ἐδώμ.
Hebrew (WLC): וַיְהִ֨י שָׂטָ֤ן לְיִשְׂרָאֵל֙ כָּל יְמֵ֣י שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה וְאֶת הָרָעָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר הֲדָ֑ד וַיָּ֨קָץ֙ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיִּמְלֹ֖ךְ עַל אֲרָֽם

Haydock's commentary

Solomon, after he once began. (Haydock)

Adad. Hebrew, "and with the evil of Adad, and he detested Israel." (Menochius)

Razon and Adad conspired to attack Solomon. (Haydock)

Adad may be the common name of the kings of Damascus. Some copies of the Septuagint do not speak of Razon, but continue the history of Adad, ver. 14. They also read Edom here instead of Aram, or Syria, which would remove the confusion. (Calmet)

Adad, Razon, and Jeroboam always oppugn Solomon after his fall; and signify the flesh, the world, and the devil. (Worthington)
