1 Kings 16:16-28
16And the peopleH5971 that were encampedH2583 heardH8085 sayH559, ZimriH2174 hath conspired, and hath alsoH1571 smitten the kingH4428: wherefore all IsraelH3478 made OmriH6018, the captain of the hostH6635, kingH4428 over IsraelH3478 that dayH3117 in the campH4264. 17And OmriH6018 wentH5927 up from GibbethonH1405, and all IsraelH3478 with him, and they besieged TirzahH8656. 18And it cameH935 to pass, when ZimriH2174 sawH7200 that the cityH5892 wasH1961 takenH3920, that he wentH935 into the castle of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and burnt the king’sH4428 houseH1004 over him with fireH784, and diedH4191, 19for his sinsH2398 which he sinnedH2398 in doing that which was evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah, in walking in the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379, and in his sinH2398 which he did, to makeH6213 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398. 20Now the restH3499 of the acts of ZimriH2174, and his treasonH7195 that he wrought, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chronicles of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?
21ThenH227 wereH1961 the peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478 dividedH2505 into two parts: halfH2677 of the peopleH5971 followed TibniH8402 the sonH1121 of GinathH1527, to make him kingH4427; and halfH2677 followed OmriH6018. 22But the peopleH5971 that followed OmriH6018 prevailedH2388 against the peopleH5971 that followed TibniH8402 the sonH1121 of GinathH1527: so TibniH8402 diedH4191, and OmriH6018 reignedH4427. 23In the thirtyH7970 and first yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began OmriH6018 to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478, and reignedH4427 twelve yearsH8141: sixH8337 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in TirzahH8656. 24And he boughtH7069 the hillH2022 SamariaH8111 of ShemerH8106 for two talentsH3603 of silverH3701; and he builtH1129 on the hillH2022, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 which he builtH1129, after the nameH8034 of ShemerH8106, the owner of the hillH2022, SamariaH8111. 25And OmriH6018 did that which was evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah, and dealt wickedly above all that were before him. 26For he walked in all the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, and in his sinsH2398 wherewith he made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, to provokeH3707 Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to angerH3707 with their vanitiesH1892. 27Now the restH3499 of the acts of OmriH6018 which he did, and his might that he showed, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chronicles of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 28So OmriH6018 slept with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 in SamariaH8111; and AhabH256 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
