1 Kings 16:21-26

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.
