1 Kings 16:16-28

16And the peopleH5971 who were campedH2583 heardH8085 1it being saidH559, “ZimriH2174 has conspiredH7194 and has alsoH1571 struckH5221 andH5221 killedH5221 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 upH5927 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 himself with fireH784, and 2diedH4191, 19becauseH5921 of his sinsH2403 whichH834 he 3committedH2398, doingH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, 4walkingH1980 in the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379, and in his sinH2403 whichH834 he committedH6213, misleadingH2398 IsraelH3478 intoH2398 sinH2398. 205Now as for the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ZimriH2174 and his conspiracyH7195 whichH834 he 6carriedH7194 outH7194, 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 for twelveH8147H6240 yearsH8141; he reignedH4427 for sixH8337 yearsH8141 at 7TirzahH8656. 24And he purchasedH7069 the hillH2022 8SamariaH8111 from ShemerH8106 for 9two talentsH3603 of silverH3701; and he builtH1129 on the hillH2022, and namedH7121H8034 the cityH5892 whichH834 he builtH1129 1011SamariaH8111, afterH5921 the nameH8034 of ShemerH8106, the ownerH113 of the hillH2022.

25Now 12OmriH6018 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, and 13actedH7489 moreH4480 wickedlyH7489 thanH4480 allH3605 whoH834 were beforeH6440 him. 26For he 14walkedH1980 15entirelyH3605 in the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028 and in his sinsH2403 into whichH834 he misledH2398 IsraelH3478, provokingH3707 the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 toH3707 angerH3707 with their 16idolsH1892. 27Now as for the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of OmriH6018 whichH834 he didH6213 and his mightH1369 whichH834 he 17displayedH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 28And OmriH6018 18layH7901 downH7901 with his fathersH1 and was buriedH6912 in SamariaH8111; and his sonH1121 AhabH256 becameH4427 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478.
