1 Kings 16:23-28
23In the thirty-firstH7970H259 yearH8141 of Asa’sH609 reignH4428 over JudahH3063, OmriH6018 became kingH4427 ofH5921 IsraelH3478, and he reigned twelveH8147H6240 yearsH8141, sixH8337 of them in TirzahH8656. 24He boughtH7069 the hillH2022 of SamariaH8111 fromH854 ShemerH8106 for two talentsH3603 of silverH37011 and builtH1129 a city there, callingH7121 it SamariaH8111 afterH5921 the nameH8034 of ShemerH8106, who had ownedH113 the hillH2022.
25But OmriH6018 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 and acted more wickedlyH7489 than allH3605 whoH834 were before himH6440. 26For he walkedH1980 in allH3605 the waysH1870 of JeroboamH3379 sonH1121 of NebatH5028 and in his sinsH2403, whichH834 he caused IsraelH3478 to commitH2398, provokingH3707 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to angerH853 with their worthless idolsH1892.
27As for the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of OmriH6018, along with his accomplishmentsH834H6213 and the mightH1369 he exercisedH6213, are theyH1992 notH3808 writtenH3789 inH5921 the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?
28And OmriH6018 restedH7901 withH5973 his fathersH1 and was buriedH6912 in SamariaH8111, and his sonH1121 AhabH256 reignedH4427 in his placeH8478.
