1 Kings 16:2-13

2“InasmuchH3282H834 as I 1exaltedH7311 you from the dustH6083 and madeH5414 you leaderH5057 overH5921 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and 2you have walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379 and have made My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 sinH2398, provokingH3707 Me to angerH3707 with their sinsH2403, 3beholdH2009, 3I will consumeH1197 4BaashaH1201 and his houseH1004, and 5I will makeH5414 your houseH1004 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028. 46Anyone of BaashaH1201 who diesH4191 in the cityH5892 the dogsH3611 will eatH398, and anyone of his who diesH4191 in the fieldH7704 the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064 will eatH398.”

57Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of BaashaH1201 and whatH834 he didH6213 and his mightH1369, are they not writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 6And BaashaH1201 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1 and was buriedH6912 in 8TirzahH8656, and ElahH425 his sonH1121 becameH4427 kingH4427 in his placeH8478. 7MoreoverH1571, the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 throughH3027 9the prophetH5030 JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607 alsoH1571 cameH1961 againstH413 BaashaH1201 and his householdH1004, both becauseH5921 of allH3605 the evilH7463 whichH834 he didH6213 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, provokingH3707 Him to angerH3707 with 10the workH4639 of his handsH3027, in beingH1961 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379, and becauseH5921H834 11he struckH5221 12it.

8In the twenty-sixthH6242H8337 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, ElahH425 the sonH1121 of BaashaH1201 becameH4427 kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 at TirzahH8656, and reigned two yearsH8141. 9His servantH5650 13ZimriH2174, commanderH8269 of halfH4276 his chariotsH7393, conspiredH7194 againstH5921 him. Now he was at TirzahH8656 drinkingH8354 himself drunkH7910 in the houseH1004 of ArzaH777, 14whoH834 was overH5921 the householdH1004 at TirzahH8656. 10Then ZimriH2174 wentH935 in and struckH5221 him and putH4191 him to deathH4191 in the twenty-seventhH6242H7651 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and becameH4427 kingH4427 in his placeH8478. 11It cameH1961 about when he becameH4427 kingH4427, as soon as he satH3427 on his throneH3678, that 15he 16killedH5221 allH3605 the householdH1004 of BaashaH1201; he did not leaveH7604 17a single maleH8366H7023, neither of his 18relativesH1350 nor of his friendsH7453.

12Thus ZimriH2174 destroyedH8045 allH3605 the householdH1004 of BaashaH1201, 19according to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, whichH834 He spokeH1696 againstH413 BaashaH1201 throughH3027 20JehuH3058 the prophetH5030, 13for allH3605 the sinsH2403 of BaashaH1201 and the sinsH2403 of ElahH425 his sonH1121, whichH834 they sinnedH2398 and whichH834 they made IsraelH3478 sinH2398, 21provokingH3707 the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to angerH3707 with their 22idolsH1892.
