I Kings 16 (kjv)

Then the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came to Jehu^H3058 the son^H1121 of Hanani^H2607 against Baasha^H1201, saying^H559,²Forasmuch 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;³Behold, I will take away^H1197 the posterity^H310 of Baasha^H1201, and the posterity^H310 of his house^H1004; and will make^H5414 thy house^H1004 like the house^H1004 of Jeroboam^H3379 the son^H1121 of Nebat^H5028.⁴Him 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 fields^H7704 shall the fowls^H5775 of the air^H8064 eat^H398.

⁵Now 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 H3117} of the kings^H4428 of Israel^H3478?⁶So 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.⁷And also by the hand^H3027 of the prophet^H5030 Jehu^H3058 the son^H1121 of Hanani^H2607 came the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 against Baasha^H1201, and against his house^H1004, even for all the evil^H7451 that he did^H6213 in the sight^H5869 of the LORD^H3068, in provoking him to anger^H3707 with the work^H4639 of his hands^H3027, in being like the house^H1004 of Jeroboam^H3379; and because he killed^H5221 him.

⁸In the twenty^{H6242 H8141} 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, two years^H8141.⁹And his servant^H5650 Zimri^H2174, captain^H8269 of half^H4276 his chariots^H7393, conspired^H7194 against him, as he was in Tirzah^H8656, drinking^H8354 himself drunk^H7910 in the house^H1004 of Arza^H777 steward of his house^H1004 in Tirzah^H8656.¹⁰And 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.

¹¹And it came to pass, when he began to reign^H4427, as soon as he sat^H3427 on his throne^H3678, that he slew^H5221 all the house^H1004 of Baasha^H1201: he left^H7604 him not one that pisseth^H8366 against a wall^H7023, neither of his kinsfolks^H1350, nor of his friends^H7453.¹²Thus did Zimri^H2174 destroy^H8045 all the house^H1004 of Baasha^H1201, according to the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, which he spake^H1696 against Baasha^H1201 by^H3027 Jehu^H3058 the prophet^H5030,¹³For all the sins^H2403 of Baasha^H1201, and the sins^H2403 of Elah^H425 his son^H1121, by which they sinned^H2398, and by which they made Israel^H3478 to sin^H2398, in provoking the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478 to anger^H3707 with their vanities^H1892.¹⁴Now 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 H3117} of the kings^H4428 of Israel^H3478?

¹⁵In the twenty^{H6242 H8141} 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. And the people^H5971 were encamped^H2583 against Gibbethon^H1405, which belonged to the Philistines^H6430.¹⁶And the people^H5971 that were encamped^H2583 heard^H8085 say^H559, Zimri^H2174 hath conspired^H7194, and hath also slain^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^H4264.¹⁷And Omri^H6018 went up^H5927 from Gibbethon^H1405, and all Israel^H3478 with him, and they besieged^H6696 Tirzah^H8656.¹⁸And it came to pass, when Zimri^H2174 saw^H7200 that the city^H5892 was taken^H3920, that he went^H935 into the palace^H759 of the king's^H4428 house^H1004, and burnt^H8313 the king's^H4428 house^H1004 over him with fire^H784, and died^H4191,¹⁹For his sins^H2403 which he sinned^H2398 in doing^H6213 evil^H7451 in the sight^H5869 of the LORD^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^H2398.²⁰Now 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 H3117} of the kings^H4428 of Israel^H3478?

²¹Then were the people^H5971 of Israel^H3478 divided^H2505 into two parts^H2677: half^H2677 of the people^H5971 followed^{H1961 H310} Tibni^H8402 the son^H1121 of Ginath^H1527, to make him king^H4427; and half^H2677 followed^H310 Omri^H6018.²²But 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.

²³In the thirty^{H7970 H8141} and first^H259 year^H8141 of Asa^H609 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 began Omri^H6018 to reign^H4427 over Israel^H3478, twelve^{H8147 H6240} years^H8141: six^H8337 years^H8141 reigned^H4427 he in Tirzah^H8656.²⁴And he bought^H7069 the hill^H2022 Samaria^H8111 of Shemer^H8106 for two talents^H3603 of silver^H3701, and 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, owner^H113 of the hill^H2022, Samaria^H8111.

²⁵But Omri^H6018 wrought^H6213 evil^H7451 in the eyes^H5869 of the LORD^H3068, and did worse^H7489 than all that were before^H6440 him.²⁶For he walked^H3212 in all the way^H1870 of Jeroboam^H3379 the son^H1121 of Nebat^H5028, and in his sin^H2403 wherewith he made Israel^H3478 to sin^H2398, to provoke the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478 to anger^H3707 with their vanities^H1892.

²⁷Now the rest^H3499 of the acts^H1697 of Omri^H6018 which he did^H6213, and his might^H1369 that he shewed^H6213, are they not written^H3789 in the book^H5612 of the chronicles^{H1697 H3117} of the kings^H4428 of Israel^H3478?²⁸So 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.

²⁹And in the thirty^{H7970 H8141} 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^H8141.³⁰And Ahab^H256 the son^H1121 of Omri^H6018 did^H6213 evil^H7451 in the sight^H5869 of the LORD^H3068 above all that were before^H6440 him.³¹And 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 Zidonians^H6722, and went^H3212 and served^H5647 Baal^H1168, and worshipped^H7812 him.³²And he reared up^H6965 an altar^H4196 for Baal^H1168 in the house^H1004 of Baal^H1168, which he had built^H1129 in Samaria^H8111.³³And Ahab^H256 made^H6213 a grove^H842; and Ahab^H256 did^H6213 more^H3254 to provoke the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478 to anger^H3707 than all the kings^H4428 of Israel^H3478 that were before^H6440 him.

³⁴In his days^H3117 did Hiel^H2419 the Bethelite^H1017 build^H1129 Jericho^H3405: he laid the foundation^H3245 thereof in Abiram^H48 his firstborn^H1060, and set up^H5324 the gates^H1817 thereof in his youngest^H6810 son Segub^H7687, according to the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, which he spake^H1696 by^H3027 Joshua^H3091 the son^H1121 of Nun^H5126.
