1 Kings 16:24-26

24And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and built on the hill, and called the name of the city that he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, Samaria.

25And Omri wrought evil in the sight of Jehovah, and did worse than all that were before him.

26And he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins wherewith he made Israel to sin, provoking Jehovah the 1God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
