God’s Word Translation
1 Kings 16:24-26
24Omri bought a hill from Shemer for 150 pounds of silver. He fortified the hill and built the city of Samaria on it. He named the city after its former owner, Shemer.
25Omri did what the Lord considered evil. He did more evil things than all ⌞the kings⌟ before him.
26He lived exactly like Jeroboam (Nebat’s son). He sinned and led Israel to sin with worthless idols, and the Israelites made the Lord God of Israel furious.
