1And the wordH1697 of Jehovah came to JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607 against BaashaH1201, sayingH559, 2Forasmuch as I exaltedH7311 thee out of the dustH6083, and madeH5414 thee princeH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and thou hast walked in the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379, and hast madeH5414 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, provokingH3707 me to angerH3707 with their sinsH2398; 3behold, I will take away BaashaH1201 and his houseH1004, and will makeH5414 thy houseH1004 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028. 4Him that dieth of BaashaH1201 in the cityH5892 shall the dogsH3611 eatH398, and him that dieth of his in the fieldH7704 shall the fowl of the heavensH8064 eatH398. 5And the restH3499 of the acts of BaashaH1201, and what he did, and his might, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chronicles of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 6And BaashaH1201 slept with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 in TirzahH8656; and ElahH425 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. 7And alsoH1571 through the prophetH5030 JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607 the wordH1697 of Jehovah came against BaashaH1201, and against his houseH1004, even for all the evilH7451 that he did in the sight of Jehovah, provokingH3707 him to angerH3707 with the workH4639 of his handsH3027, in being like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379; and because he had smitten him. 8In the twenty-sixth yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, ElahH425 the sonH1121 of BaashaH1201 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in TirzahH8656 for two yearsH8141. 9And his servantH5650 ZimriH2174, captain of halfH4276 [his] chariotsH7393, conspired against him; and he was in TirzahH8656, drinkingH8354 himself drunkH8354 in the houseH1004 of Arza, who was the steward of his houseH1004 in TirzahH8656; 10and ZimriH2174 wentH935 in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty-seventh yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and he reignedH4427 in his stead. 11And it came to pass when he began to reignH4427, as soon as he satH3427 on his throneH3678, he slew all the houseH1004 of BaashaH1201: he leftH7604 him not a male, neither of his kinsmen nor of his friendsH7453. 12And ZimriH2174 destroyedH8045 all the houseH1004 of BaashaH1201, according to the wordH1697 of Jehovah, which he spokeH1696 against BaashaH1201 through JehuH3058 the prophetH5030, 13for all the sinsH2398 of BaashaH1201, and the sinsH2398 of ElahH425 his sonH1121, which they sinnedH2398 and wherewith they made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, provokingH3707 Jehovah the 1GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to angerH3707 with their vanitiesH1892. 14And the restH3499 of the acts of ElahH425, and all that he did, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chronicles of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 15In the twenty-seventh yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, ZimriH2174 reignedH4427 sevenH7651 daysH3117 in TirzahH8656. Now the peopleH5971 were encampedH2583 against GibbethonH1405, which [belonged] to the PhilistinesH6430. 16And the peopleH5971 that were encampedH2583 heardH8085 sayH559, ZimriH2174 has conspired, and has alsoH1571 smitten the kingH4428; and 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 citadel of the king's houseH1004, and burnedH8313 the king's houseH1004 over him with fireH784; 19and he died for his sinsH2398 which he sinnedH2398 in doing evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah, in walking in the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379, and in his sinH2398 which he did, makingH6213 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398. 20And the restH3499 of the acts of ZimriH2174, and his conspiracyH7195 which 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 overcame the peopleH5971 that followed TibniH8402 the sonH1121 of GinathH1527; and TibniH8402 diedH4191, and OmriH6018 reignedH4427. 23In the thirty-first yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, OmriH6018 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478, — twelve yearsH8141; he reignedH4427 sixH8337 yearsH8141 in TirzahH8656. 24And he boughtH7069 the hillH2022 SamariaH8111 of ShemerH8106 for two talentsH3603 of silverH3701; and builtH1129 on the hillH2022, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 that he builtH1129, after the nameH8034 of ShemerH8106, owner of the hillH2022, SamariaH8111. 25And OmriH6018 wrought evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah, and did worseH7451 than all that were before him. 26And he walked in all the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, and in his sinsH2398 wherewith he made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, provokingH3707 Jehovah the 2GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to angerH3707 with their vanitiesH1892. 27And the restH3499 of the acts of OmriH6018, what he did, and his might which he shewed, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chronicles of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 28And OmriH6018 slept with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 in SamariaH8111; and AhabH256 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. 29And AhabH256 the sonH1121 of OmriH6018 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in the thirty-eighth yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; and AhabH256 the sonH1121 of OmriH6018 reignedH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111 twenty-two yearsH8141. 30And AhabH256 the sonH1121 of OmriH6018 wrought evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah more than all that were before him. 31And it came to pass, as if it wasH1961 a light thingH7043 for him to walk in the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, that he tookH3947 as wifeH802 JezebelH348 the daughterH1323 of Ethbaal kingH4428 of the Zidonians; and he went and servedH5647 BaalH1168 and worshipped him. 32And he reared up an altarH4196 for BaalH1168 in the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, which he builtH1129 in SamariaH8111. 33And AhabH256 madeH6213 the AsherahH842; and AhabH256 did more to provokeH3707 Jehovah the 3GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to angerH3707 than all the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 that were before him. 34In his daysH3117 Hiel the Bethelite builtH1129 JerichoH3405; he laid its foundation in AbiramH48 his firstbornH1060, and setH5324 up its gates in SegubH7687 his youngestH6810, according to the wordH1697 of Jehovah which he spokeH1696 through JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126.
