1 Kings 16:9-13

9However, while ElahH1931 was in TirzahH8656 getting drunkH8354H7910 in the houseH1004 of ArzaH777 the stewardH5921 of his householdH1004 there, Elah’s servantH5650 ZimriH2174, the commanderH8269 of halfH4276 his chariotsH7393, conspiredH7194 against himH5921. 10So in the twenty-seventhH6242H7651 yearH8141 of Asa’sH609 reignH4428 over JudahH3063, ZimriH2174 went inH935, struck Elah downH5221, and killed himH4191. And Zimri reignedH4427 in his placeH8478.

11As soon asH1961 Zimri began to reignH4427 and was seatedH3427 onH5921 the throneH3678, he struck downH5221 the entireH3605 householdH1004 of BaashaH1201. He did notH3808 leaveH7604 a single maleH8366H7023, whether a kinsmanH1350 or friendH7453. 12So ZimriH2174 destroyedH8045 the entireH3605 householdH1004 of BaashaH1201, according to the wordH1697 thatH834 the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 againstH413 BaashaH1201 throughH3027 JehuH3058 the prophetH5030. 13This happened because ofH413 allH3605 the sinsH2403 BaashaH1201 and his sonH1121 ElahH425 had committedH2398 and had caused IsraelH3478 to commitH2398, provokingH3707 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of Israel, to angerH3478 with their worthless idolsH1892.
