1
Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607 againstH5921 Baasha,H1201 saying,H559
2
For as muchH3282 H834 as I exaltedH7311 you out of the dust,H6083 and madeH5414 you princeH5057 overH5921 my peopleH5971 Israel;H3478 and you have walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of Jeroboam,H3379 and have made my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to sin,H2398 to provoke me to angerH3707 with their sins;H2403
3
Behold,H2005 I will takeH1197 away the posterityH310 of Baasha,H1201 and the posterityH310 of his house;H1004 and will makeH5414 your houseH1004 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of Nebat.H5028
4
Him that diesH4191 of BaashaH1201 in the cityH5892 shall the dogsH3611 eat;H398 and him that diesH4191 of his in the fieldsH7704 shall the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064 eat.H398
5
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of Baasha,H1201 and whatH834 he did,H6213 and his might,H1369 are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 H3117 of the kingsH4428 of Israel?H3478
6
So BaashaH1201 sleptH7901 with his fathers,H1 and was buriedH6912 in Tirzah:H8656 and ElahH425 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.H8478
7
And alsoH1571 by the handH3027 of the prophetH5030 JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607 cameH1961 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 againstH413 Baasha,H1201 and againstH413 his house,H1004 even for allH3605 the evilH7451 that he didH6213 in the sightH5869 of the LORD,H3068 in provoking him to angerH3707 with the workH4639 of his hands,H3027 in beingH1961 like the houseH1004 of Jeroboam;H3379 and becauseH834 he killedH5221 him.
8
In the twentyH6242 and sixthH8337 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began ElahH425 the sonH1121 of BaashaH1201 to reignH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 in Tirzah,H8656 two years.H8141
9
And his servantH5650 Zimri,H2174 captainH8269 of halfH4276 his chariots,H7393 conspiredH7194 againstH5921 him, as he was in Tirzah,H8656 drinkingH8354 himself drunkH7910 in the houseH1004 of ArzaH777 stewardH834 H5921 of his houseH1004 in Tirzah.H8656
10
And ZimriH2174 wentH935 in and smoteH5221 him, and killedH4191 him, in the twentyH6242 and seventhH7651 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of Judah,H3063 and reignedH4427 in his stead.H8478
11
And it cameH1961 to pass, when he began to reign,H4427 as soon as he satH3427 onH5921 his throne,H3678 that he slewH5221 allH3605 the houseH1004 of Baasha:H1201 he leftH7604 him not one that urinatesH8366 against a wall,H7023 neither of his kinfolks,H1350 nor of his friends.H7453
12
Thus did ZimriH2174 destroyH8045 allH3605 the houseH1004 of Baasha,H1201 according to the wordH1697 of the LORD,H3068 whichH834 he spokeH1696 againstH413 BaashaH1201 by JehuH3058 the prophet.H5030
13
For allH3605 the sinsH2403 of Baasha,H1201 and the sinsH2403 of ElahH425 his son,H1121 by whichH834 they sinned,H2398 and by whichH834 they made IsraelH3478 to sin,H2398 in provoking the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to angerH3707 with their vanities.H1892
14
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of Elah,H425 and allH3605 that he did,H6213 are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 H3117 of the kingsH4428 of Israel?H3478
15
In the twentyH6242 and seventhH7651 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 did ZimriH2174 reignH4427 sevenH7651 daysH3117 in Tirzah.H8656 And the peopleH5971 were encampedH2583 againstH5921 Gibbethon,H1405 whichH834 belonged to the Philistines.H6430
16
And the peopleH5971 that were encampedH2583 heardH8085 say,H559 ZimriH2174 has conspired,H7194 and has alsoH1571 slainH5221 the king:H4428 why allH3605 IsraelH3478 made Omri,H6018 the captainH8269 of the host,H6635 kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 that dayH3117 in the camp.H4264
17
And OmriH6018 wentH5927 up from Gibbethon,H1405 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with him, and they besiegedH6696 Tirzah.H8656
18
And it cameH1961 to pass, when ZimriH2174 sawH7200 that the cityH5892 was taken,H3920 that he wentH935 intoH413 the palaceH759 of the king'sH4428 house,H1004 and burntH8313 the king'sH4428 houseH1004 overH5921 him with fire,H784 and died.H4191
19
For his sinsH2403 whichH834 he sinnedH2398 in doingH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORD,H3068 in walkingH3212 in the wayH1870 of Jeroboam,H3379 and in his sinH2403 whichH834 he did,H6213 to make IsraelH3478 to sin.H2398
20
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of Zimri,H2174 and his treasonH7195 that he worked,H7194 are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 H3117 of the kingsH4428 of Israel?H3478
21
ThenH227 were the peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478 dividedH2505 into twoH2677 parts:H2677 halfH2677 of the peopleH5971 followedH1961 H310 TibniH8402 the sonH1121 of Ginath,H1527 to make him king;H4427 and halfH2677 followedH310 Omri.H6018
22
But the peopleH5971 that followedH310 OmriH6018 prevailedH2388 against the peopleH5971 that followedH310 TibniH8402 the sonH1121 of Ginath:H1527 so TibniH8402 died,H4191 and OmriH6018 reigned.H4427
23
In the thirtyH7970 and firstH259 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began OmriH6018 to reignH4427 overH5921 Israel,H3478 twelveH8147 H6240 years:H8141 sixH8337 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in Tirzah.H8656
24
And he boughtH7069 the hillH2022 SamariaH8111 of ShemerH8106 for two talentsH3603 of silver,H3701 and builtH1129 onH853 the hill,H2022 and calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 whichH834 he built,H1129 afterH5921 the nameH8034 of Shemer,H8106 ownerH113 of the hill,H2022 Samaria.H8111
25
But OmriH6018 workedH6213 evilH7451 in the eyesH5869 of the LORD,H3068 and did worseH7489 than allH3605 that were beforeH6440 him.
26
For he walkedH3212 in allH3605 the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of Nebat,H5028 and in his sinH2403 with whichH834 he made IsraelH3478 to sin,H2398 to provoke the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to angerH3707 with their vanities.H1892
27
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of OmriH6018 whichH834 he did,H6213 and his mightH1369 that he showed,H6213 are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 H3117 of the kingsH4428 of Israel?H3478
28
So OmriH6018 sleptH7901 with his fathers,H1 and was buriedH6912 in Samaria:H8111 and AhabH256 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.H8478
29
And in the thirtyH7970 and eighthH8083 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began AhabH256 the sonH1121 of OmriH6018 to reignH4427 overH5921 Israel:H3478 and AhabH256 the sonH1121 of OmriH6018 reignedH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111 twentyH6242 and twoH8147 years.H8141
30
And AhabH256 the sonH1121 of OmriH6018 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 above allH3605 that were beforeH6440 him.
31
And it cameH1961 to pass, as if it had been a lightH7043 thing for him to walkH3212 in the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of Nebat,H5028 that he tookH3947 to wifeH802 JezebelH348 the daughterH1323 of EthbaalH856 kingH4428 of the Zidonians,H6722 and wentH3212 and servedH5647 Baal,H1168 and worshippedH7812 him.
32
And he rearedH6965 up an altarH4196 for BaalH1168 in the houseH1004 of Baal,H1168 whichH834 he had builtH1129 in Samaria.H8111
33
And AhabH256 madeH6213 a grove;H842 and AhabH256 didH6213 moreH3254 to provoke the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to angerH3707 than allH3605 the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 that were beforeH6440 him.
34
In his daysH3117 did HielH2419 the BetheliteH1017 buildH1129 Jericho:H3405 he laid the foundationH3245 thereof in AbiramH48 his firstborn,H1060 and setH5324 up the gatesH1817 thereof in his youngestH6810 son Segub,H7687 according to the wordH1697 of the LORD,H3068 whichH834 he spokeH1696 by JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of Nun.H5126
