1 Kings 16:16-28

16The peopleH5971 who were campedH2583 heardH8085 1it saidH559, “ZimriH2174 has conspiredH7194 and has alsoH1571 struckH5221 downH5221 the kingH4428.” Therefore allH3605 IsraelH3478 madeH4427 OmriH6018, the commanderH8269 of the armyH6635, kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 that dayH3117 in the campH4264. 17Then OmriH6018 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with him wentH5927 up from GibbethonH1405 and besiegedH6696H5921 TirzahH8656. 18When ZimriH2174 sawH7200 that the cityH5892 was takenH3920, he wentH935 into the citadelH759 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004 and burnedH8313 the king’sH4428 houseH1004 overH5921 him with fireH784, and 2diedH4191, 19becauseH5921 of his sinsH2403 whichH834 he sinnedH2398, doingH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, 3walkingH1980 in the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379, and in his sinH2403 whichH834 he didH6213, making IsraelH3478 sinH2398. 204Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ZimriH2174 and his conspiracyH7195 whichH834 he 5carriedH7194 out, are they not writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?

21ThenH227 the peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478 were dividedH2505 into twoH2677 partsH2677: halfH2677 of the peopleH5971 followedH1961H310 TibniH8402 the sonH1121 of GinathH1527, to makeH4427 him kingH4427; the other halfH2677 followedH310 OmriH6018. 22But the peopleH5971 whoH834 followedH310 OmriH6018 prevailedH2388 overH2388 the peopleH5971 whoH834 followedH310 TibniH8402 the sonH1121 of GinathH1527. And TibniH8402 diedH4191 and OmriH6018 becameH4427 kingH4427. 23In the thirty-firstH7970H259 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, OmriH6018 becameH4427 kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 and reigned twelveH8147H6240 yearsH8141; he reignedH4427 sixH8337 yearsH8141 at 6TirzahH8656. 24He boughtH7069 the hillH2022 7SamariaH8111 from ShemerH8106 for two talentsH3603 of silverH3701; and he builtH1129 on the hillH2022, and namedH7121H8034 the cityH5892 whichH834 he builtH1129 89SamariaH8111, afterH5921 the nameH8034 of ShemerH8106, the ownerH113 of the hillH2022.

2510OmriH6018 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, and 11actedH7489 moreH4480 wickedlyH7489 thanH4480 allH3605 whoH834 were beforeH6440 him. 26For he 12walkedH1980 in allH3605 the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028 and in his sinsH2403 whichH834 he made IsraelH3478 sinH2398, provokingH3707 the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 with their 13idolsH1892. 27Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of OmriH6018 whichH834 he didH6213 and his mightH1369 whichH834 he 14showedH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 28So OmriH6018 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1 and was buriedH6912 in SamariaH8111; and AhabH256 his sonH1121 becameH4427 kingH4427 in his placeH8478.
