1 Kings 16:9-22
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.
