1 Kings 16
16:1And came to pass the word of the lord unto Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
16:2Because I exalted you above the earth, and gave you lead over my people Israel, and you went in the way of Jeroboam, and led my people Israel into sin, to provoke me to anger by their vanities;
16:3behold, I arouse enemies after Baasha, and after his house. And I will appoint your house as the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat.
16:4The one having died of Baasha in the city, the dogs shall eat him. And the one having died of his in the plain, the birds of the heaven shall eat him.
16:5And the rest of the words of Baasha, and all which he did, and his dominations, behold are these not written in the scroll of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
16:6And Baasha slept with his fathers, and they entombed him in Tirzah, and Elah his son reigned instead of him.
16:7And the lord spoke by the hand of Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha, and against his house, and upon all the evil which he did before the lord, provoking him to anger by the works of his hands, for him to be as the house of Jeroboam, and for striking him.
16:8In the eighth and twentieth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah son of Baasha reigned over Israel in Tirzah two years.
16:9And his servant was confederated against him -- Zimri the ruler of half the chariots. And Elah was in Tirzah drinking, being intoxicated in the house of Azra the manager, the one in Tirzah.
16:10And Zimri entered and struck him, and killed him in the seventh and twentieth year, and he reigned instead of him.
16:11And it came to pass in his taking reign, in his sitting upon his throne, he struck the entire house of Baasha. And he left not to it one urinating against the wall, even the relatives and his friends.
16:12And Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the saying which the lord spoke against the house of Baasha, by Jehu the prophet,
16:13on account of all the sins of Baasha, and his son Elah, as he led Israel into sin, provoking to anger the lord God of Israel in their vanities.
16:14And the rest of the words of Elah, and all which he did, behold are these not written in the scroll of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
16:15In the twentieth and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned in Tizrah seven days. And the camp of Israel was upon Gibbethon the city of the Philistines.
16:16And the people heard in the camp, saying, Zimri conspired and smote the king. And they gave reign in Israel to Omri, the one leading the military over Israel in that day, in the camp.
16:17And Omri ascended from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged against Tizrah.
16:18And it came to pass as Zimri beheld that his city was taken, that he entered into the inner room of the house of the king, and he set on fire the house of the king over himself with fire, and he died
16:19for his sins which he did to act wickedly before the lord, to go in the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and in his sins which he committed as he led Israel into sin.
16:20And the rest of the words of Zimri, and his associations which he joined in, behold are these not written in the scroll of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
16:21Then the people of Israel parted; half the people went after Tibni son of Ginath for him to reign, and half of the people went after Omri.
16:22And the people being after Omri prevailed against the people that followed after Tibni son of Ginath. And Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
16:23In the thirtieth and first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri reigned over Israel twelve years. In Tirzah he reigned six years.
16:24And Omri acquired the mountain Samaria from Shemer the lord of the mountain for two talents of silver. And he built on the mountain, and he called the name of the mountain which he built upon after the name of Shemer the lord of the mountain -- Samaria.
16:25And Omri did the wicked thing before the lord, and was wicked over all the ones being prior of him.
16:26And he went in all the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and in his sins in which he led Israel into sin, to provoke to anger the lord God of Israel in their vanities.
16:27And the rest of the words of Omri, and all which he did, and his dominations, behold are these not written in the scroll of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
16:28And Omri slept with his fathers, and they entombed him in Samaria. And Ahab his son reigned instead of him.
16:29But Ahab son of Omri reigned over Israel in the thirtieth and eighth year of Asa king of Judah. And Ahab son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.
16:30And Ahab did the wicked thing before the lord, and he was wicked above all the ones prior of him.
16:31And it was not enough for him to go in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, but he took for wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians. And he went and served to Baal, and did obeisance to him.
16:32And he set up an altar to Baal in the house of Baal which he built in Samaria.
16:33And Ahab prepared the sacred grove. And Ahab proceeded to make provocations to provoke the lord God of Israel to anger above all the kings of Israel being prior of him.
16:34In his days, Hiel the Beth-elite built Jericho; he laid its foundation with Abiram his first-born, and with Segub his younger he set up its doors, according to the saying of the lord, which he spoke by the hand of Joshua son of Nun.
