    8In the twenty-sixth year of Asa, king of Judah, Elah son of Baasha became king over Israel in Tirzah, and he reigned for two years.

    9Then his servant Zimri, commander of half the chariots, conspired against him. Elah was in Tirzah at the home of Arza, who was over the household, drinking himself drunk.

    10Zimri came in, struck him down, and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa, king of Judah, and reigned in his place.

    11As soon as Zimri began to reign and sat on his throne, he struck down the entire household of Baasha. He did not leave a single male, whether relative or friend.

    12So Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, in accordance with the word of the Lord spoken against Baasha through the prophet Jehu.

    13This happened because of all the sins of Baasha and the sins of his son Elah, which they committed and led Israel to commit, provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger with their worthless idols.

    14The rest of the acts of Elah, all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

    16When the troops who were camped heard it said, 'Zimri has conspired and struck down the king,' all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that very day in the camp.

    17Then Omri and all Israel with him marched up from Gibbethon and besieged Tirzah.

    18When Zimri saw that the city was captured, he went into the citadel of the royal palace, set it on fire around him, and died.

    19This happened because of the sins he committed, doing evil in the eyes of the Lord and walking in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin, which he caused Israel to commit.

    20The rest of the acts of Zimri, and the conspiracy he carried out, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

    21At that time the people of Israel were divided into two factions: half supporting Tibni son of Ginath to make him king, and the other half supporting Omri.

    22But the people who supported Omri proved stronger than the people who supported Tibni son of Ginath. So Tibni died, and Omri became king.

    23In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri became king over Israel, and he reigned for twelve years, six of them in Tirzah.
