23In the thirty-firstH7970H259 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, OmriH6018 becameH4427 kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 and reigned twelveH8147H6240 yearsH8141; he reignedH4427 sixH8337 yearsH8141 at 1TirzahH8656. 24He boughtH7069 the hillH2022 2SamariaH8111 from ShemerH8106 for two talentsH3603 of silverH3701; and he builtH1129 on the hillH2022, and namedH7121H8034 the cityH5892 whichH834 he builtH1129 34SamariaH8111, afterH5921 the nameH8034 of ShemerH8106, the ownerH113 of the hillH2022.

255OmriH6018 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, and 6actedH7489 moreH4480 wickedlyH7489 thanH4480 allH3605 whoH834 were beforeH6440 him. 26For he 7walkedH1980 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 8idolsH1892. 27Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of OmriH6018 whichH834 he didH6213 and his mightH1369 whichH834 he 9showedH6213, 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.
