And the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} came to Jehu{H3058} the son{H1121} of Hanani{H2607} against Baasha,{H1201} saying,{H559}

Forasmuch as I exalted{H7311} thee out of the dust,{H6083} and made{H5414} thee prince{H5057} over my people{H5971} Israel,{H3478} and thou hast walked{H3212} in the way{H1870} of Jeroboam,{H3379} and hast made my people{H5971} Israel{H3478} to sin,{H2398} to provoke me to anger{H3707} with their sins;{H2403}

behold, I will utterly sweep away{H1197} Baasha{H1201} and his{H310} house;{H1004} and I will make{H5414} thy house{H1004} like the house{H1004} of Jeroboam{H3379} the son{H1121} of Nebat.{H5028}

Him that dieth{H4191} of Baasha{H1201} in the city{H5892} shall the dogs{H3611} eat;{H398} and him that dieth{H4191} of his in the field{H7704} shall the birds{H5775} of the heavens{H8064} eat.{H398}

Now the rest{H3499} of the acts{H1697} of Baasha,{H1201} and what he did,{H6213} and his might,{H1369} are they not written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of the chronicles{H1697} of the kings{H4428} of Israel?{H3478}

And Baasha{H1201} slept{H7901} with his fathers,{H1} and was buried{H6912} in Tirzah;{H8656} and Elah{H425} his son{H1121} reigned{H4427} in his stead.

And moreover by{H3027} the prophet{H5030} Jehu{H3058} the son{H1121} of Hanani{H2607} came the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} against Baasha,{H1201} and against his house,{H1004} both because of all the evil{H7451} that he did{H6213} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah,{H3068} to provoke him to anger{H3707} with the work{H4639} of his hands,{H3027} in being like the house{H1004} of Jeroboam,{H3379} and because he smote{H5221} him.

In the twenty{H6242} and sixth{H8337} year{H8141} of Asa{H609} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} began Elah{H425} the son{H1121} of Baasha{H1201} to reign{H4427} over Israel{H3478} in Tirzah,{H8656} [and reigned] two years.{H8141}

And his servant{H5650} Zimri,{H2174} captain{H8269} of half{H4276} his chariots,{H7393} conspired{H7194} against him. Now he was in Tirzah,{H8656} drinking{H8354} himself drunk{H7910} in the house{H1004} of Arza,{H777} who was over the household{H1004} in Tirzah:{H8656}

and Zimri{H2174} went in{H935} and smote{H5221} him, and killed{H4191} him, in the twenty{H6242} and seventh{H7651} year{H8141} of Asa{H609} king{H4428} of Judah,{H3063} and reigned{H4427} in his stead.

And it came to pass, when he began to reign,{H4427} as soon as he sat{H3427} on his throne,{H3678} that he smote{H5221} all the house{H1004} of Baasha:{H1201} he left{H7604} him not a single man-child,{H8366} {H7023} neither of his kinsfolks,{H1350} nor of his friends.{H7453}

Thus did Zimri{H2174} destroy{H8045} all the house{H1004} of Baasha,{H1201} according to the word{H1697} of Jehovah,{H3068} which he spake{H1696} against Baasha{H1201} by{H3027} Jehu{H3058} the prophet,{H5030}

for all the sins{H2403} of Baasha,{H1201} and the sins{H2403} of Elah{H425} his son,{H1121} which they sinned,{H2398} and wherewith they made Israel{H3478} to sin,{H2398} to provoke Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel,{H3478} to anger{H3707} with their vanities.{H1892}

Now the rest{H3499} of the acts{H1697} of Elah,{H425} and all that he did,{H6213} are they not written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of the chronicles{H1697} of the kings{H4428} of Israel?{H3478}

In the twenty{H6242} and seventh{H7651} year{H8141} of Asa{H609} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} did Zimri{H2174} reign{H4427} seven{H7651} days{H3117} in Tirzah.{H8656} Now the people{H5971} were encamped{H2583} against Gibbethon,{H1405} which belonged to the Philistines.{H6430}

And the people{H5971} that were encamped{H2583} heard{H8085} say,{H559} Zimri{H2174} hath conspired,{H7194} and hath also smitten{H5221} the king:{H4428} wherefore all Israel{H3478} made Omri,{H6018} the captain{H8269} of the host,{H6635} king{H4427} over Israel{H3478} that day{H3117} in the camp.{H4264}

And Omri{H6018} went up{H5927} from Gibbethon,{H1405} and all Israel{H3478} with him, and they besieged{H6696} Tirzah.{H8656}

And it came to pass, when Zimri{H2174} saw{H7200} that the city{H5892} was taken,{H3920} that he went{H935} into the castle{H759} of the king's{H4428} house,{H1004} and burnt{H8313} the king's{H4428} house{H1004} over him with fire,{H784} and died,{H4191}

for his sins{H2403} which he sinned{H2398} in doing{H6213} that which was evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah,{H3068} in walking{H3212} in the way{H1870} of Jeroboam,{H3379} and in his sin{H2403} which he did,{H6213} to make Israel{H3478} to sin.{H2398}

Now the rest{H3499} of the acts{H1697} of Zimri,{H2174} and his treason{H7195} that he wrought,{H7194} are they not written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of the chronicles{H1697} of the kings{H4428} of Israel?{H3478}

Then were the people{H5971} of Israel{H3478} divided{H2505} into two parts:{H2677} half{H2677} of the people{H5971} followed{H1961} Tibni{H8402} the son{H1121} of Ginath,{H1527} to make him king;{H4427} and half{H2677} followed{H310} Omri.{H6018}

But the people{H5971} that followed{H310} Omri{H6018} prevailed{H2388} against{H854} the people{H5971} that followed{H310} Tibni{H8402} the son{H1121} of Ginath:{H1527} so Tibni{H8402} died,{H4191} and Omri{H6018} reigned.{H4427}

In the thirty{H7970} and first{H259} year{H8141} of Asa{H609} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} began Omri{H6018} to reign{H4427} over Israel,{H3478} [and reigned] twelve{H8147} years:{H8141} six{H8337} years{H8141} reigned{H4427} he in Tirzah.{H8656}

And he bought{H7069} the hill{H2022} Samaria{H8111} of Shemer{H8106} for two talents{H3603} of silver;{H3701} and he built{H1129} on the hill,{H2022} and called{H7121} the name{H8034} of the city{H5892} which he built,{H1129} after the name{H8034} of Shemer,{H8106} the owner{H113} of the hill,{H2022} Samaria.{H8111}

And Omri{H6018} did{H6213} that which was evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah,{H3068} and dealt wickedly above{H7489} all that were before{H6440} him.

For he walked{H3212} in all the way{H1870} of Jeroboam{H3379} the son{H1121} of Nebat,{H5028} and in his sins{H2403} wherewith he made Israel{H3478} to sin,{H2398} to provoke Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel,{H3478} to anger{H3707} with their vanities.{H1892}

Now the rest{H3499} of the acts{H1697} of Omri{H6018} which he did,{H6213} and his might{H1369} that he showed,{H6213} are they not written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of the chronicles{H1697} of the kings{H4428} of Israel?{H3478}

So Omri{H6018} slept{H7901} with his fathers,{H1} and was buried{H6912} in Samaria;{H8111} and Ahab{H256} his son{H1121} reigned{H4427} in his stead.

And in the thirty{H7970} and eighth{H8083} year{H8141} of Asa{H609} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} began Ahab{H256} the son{H1121} of Omri{H6018} to reign{H4427} over Israel:{H3478} and Ahab{H256} the son{H1121} of Omri{H6018} reigned{H4427} over Israel{H3478} in Samaria{H8111} twenty{H6242} and two{H8147} years.{H8141}

And Ahab{H256} the son{H1121} of Omri{H6018} did{H6213} that which was evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah{H3068} above all that were before{H6440} him.

And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing{H7043} for him to walk{H3212} in the sins{H2403} of Jeroboam{H3379} the son{H1121} of Nebat,{H5028} that he took{H3947} to wife{H802} Jezebel{H348} the daughter{H1323} of Ethbaal{H856} king{H4428} of the Sidonians,{H6722} and went{H3212} and served{H5647} Baal,{H1168} and worshipped{H7812} him.

And he reared up{H6965} an altar{H4196} for Baal{H1168} in the house{H1004} of Baal,{H1168} which he had built{H1129} in Samaria.{H8111}

And Ahab{H256} made{H6213} the Asherah;{H842} and Ahab{H256} did{H6213} yet more{H3254} to provoke Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel,{H3478} to anger{H3707} than all the kings{H4428} of Israel{H3478} that were before{H6440} him.

In his days{H3117} did Hiel{H2419} the Beth-elite{H1017} build{H1129} Jericho:{H3405} he laid the foundation{H3245} thereof with the loss of Abiram{H48} his first-born,{H1060} and set up{H5324} the gates{H1817} thereof with the loss of his youngest{H6810} son Segub,{H7687} according to the word{H1697} of Jehovah,{H3068} which he spake{H1696} by{H3027} Joshua{H3091} the son{H1121} of Nun.{H5126}
